Park Life Cover

Stafford Borough's parks and open spaces are an ideal place to relax and escape the stresses of daily life. The variety within the borough means that there is always somewhere to undertake one of the many diverse activities for which they are designed. Activities include formal and informal sports, picknicking, socialising, sitting and relaxing or enjoying one of the events, which are arranged in the parks and open spaces throughout the year.

The borough is keen to ensure the parks, play areas and green spaces are well managed. Management plans are being drawn up along with community group consultation to ensure the continued development and improvement. View Victoria Park's management plan
