The Mayor of Stafford Borough, Councillor Andy Cooper, officially opened Westbridge Park on Saturday (27 April) following its £1.5m transformation. Councillor Cooper was joined at the opening by 2016 gold medallist Joe Clarke, fellow olympian Adam Burgess, and international canoeist, Chris Bowers to start a fun filled day.
There was a host of free activities from 10am with music, entertainment and sports taster sessions. And a ‘skate jam’ in the wheeled sports bowl from 12noon until 4pm.
The park development was completed in December 2023 and includes new play facilities for all ages, a bespoke concrete wheeled sports facility, Multi Use Games Area, upgraded and refurbished car parks, extensive new pathway network with routes of varying lengths around the park, new signage, new street furniture, picnic areas, on site toilets, enhanced landscaping and planting with key space for local events and football pitches.
