“Like many public spaces, car parking charges apply at Wicksteed Park, car parking charges help Wicksteed Charitable Trust to maintain the park and ensure that it remains a safe, accessible, clean and well-kept environment for our visitors.
“Our large, beautiful park requires substantial funding to maintain its infrastructure, including pathways, landscaping and our much-loved playground. The funds raised through parking fees can also support our sustainable initiatives, including improving green spaces and enhancing environmental programs, these initiatives contribute to the long-term health of the park and its surrounding environment.
“We are grateful for all income generated through our car parking fees, they really are vital in ensuring that Wicksteed Park can continue to be a valuable resource for the community, offering both recreational opportunities and preserving its history and natural beauty for future generations to enjoy.”
