VISITORS to Abington Park in Northampton have been putting forward their suggestions about how the open space could be better used.
Ideas expressed by people who attended a consultation event at the park on Saturday included building an open air cinema, opening the museum for longer or using the park for wedding receptions.
Peter Aiers, chair of Number One Abington Park, said the park was already an extremely popular attraction in the town and the support group wanted to build on that success.
He said: “Most people are quite happy with the park but the museum only opens six months a year and some people would like that to be a bit longer.
“We have some good ideas from people with some saying they would want a bit more signage telling the history of the park and some saying they would want some more event space.”
Other attractions at the consultation event included a performance by the Moulton morris Men, a bird of prey display and a bouncy castle.
Dave Rea, of Moulton, who took his son to the park, said: “I like to come to the park for breakfast as it is a beautiful space.
“I think people probably don’t use it enough.”
The Number One Abington Park group will now analyse the responses from the questionnaires and see if any funding can be secured to turn one of the ideas into reality.
