Design
Please see the conceptual designs below :
Overview of the Facility
Birdseye View of the Facility
Stotfold Town Council are looking to collaborate with all residents to shape the design to ensure it meets the needs of the users and serves the community as a whole.
The current design is only a concept. Resident and user feedback is very important to shape the nature of the design and to make it a facility accessible to all ages and skill levels whilst also having residents in mind to address concerns regarding noise, vandalism and possible anti-social behaviour.
We would welcome all feedback given either at the consultation event or via the survey linked above.
Location
The location of the old facility is no longer suitable due to the proximity of the old site to residential development and the River Ivel which would leave the facility vulnerable to flooding. The proposed site is close to the A507, to reduce any nuisance to nearby properties.
The location of the site also allows the park to be built into the ground, which is beneficial for many reasons, including noise mitigation, the management of surface water, and the aesthetic of the park itself means that the number of ramps that are visible above ground is minimised. The design also allows clear sightlines to assist in reducing any potential anti-social behaviour.
The proposed location of the site can be seen below :
