The future of Constable Hyde Memorial Garden, Leabrook (November 2017)

Option 1

In Option 1 it is proposed to retain the grassed open space area and install a playground that features natural elements, a linked walking path and seating. Fencing would be installed on the boundary between the Garden and Tusmore Avenue, Godfrey Terrace and the car park. The existing fence between the Garden car park and the medical centre car park will be replaced with bollards and a garden bed. The plaza area will feature three small avenues of trees and a small grassed space. A memorial sculpture and inscriptions in sections of paving will commemorate Constable William Hyde. Other elements proposed include more rubbish bins, a water fountain, shelter seats and bench seating.

A small skate and scooter pump track, for children 10 years and under, and street skating elements are installed alongside a small play area with a sheltered picnic table, a linked walking path, toilet block and seating. The play area will feature mostly natural elements. Fencing would be installed on the boundary between the Garden and Tusmore Avenue, Godfrey Terrace and the car park.
