12ha • Adopted Council Strategy • Winchester City Council

As one of the city’s major green spaces North Walls Recreation Ground is highly cherished and a valuable resource for city life, health and well-being. As a multi-functional and intergenerational space, the recreation ground contributes towards the character, diversity and distinctiveness of the city landscape. The Park has impressive rivers running throughout together with a number of pedestrian bridges.

We were appointed by Winchester City Council to prepare a new vision and design for the park. Public consultation was integral to the successful outcome.

Our Park Plan, prepared jointly with Feria Urbanism and UBU Design, recommends an overarching strategy for making improvements to the recreation ground, using a phased approach over the next 10 years. Identifying a number of Outdoor Zones we recommend a number of potential park interventions which will make the park more attractive.

Each improvement area has been prioritised based on feedback from the public consultation and urgency of work required.
