North Lincolnshire Council from the end of October will start with the next phase of the redevelopment of Central Park with the planting of around 250 trees. The trees which will be planted will be a mix of small, semi mature and saplings including Ash, Hornbeam, Oak and Sycamore. The council is inviting local primary school children to help plant 250 trees that will line the main boulevard linking the park to the Pods Sports Academy. Planting will start at the Kingsway entrance to the Park opposite North Lindsey College. Kingsway Entrance under construction. Work will start on planting the trees towards the end of October and the council has written to all infant, junior and primary schools inviting their children to take part. The council will hold a register of the names of those children who are chosen to plant the trees with first ten children to apply to have their tree named after them. Central Park Boulevard under construction Let's hope the trees have chance to reach maturity, maybe by having some form of protection around them so they don't become the target of vandalism, after all they will be planted not only for our own enjoyment but for future generations too. This latest phase is part of the �2m project to rejuvenate Central Park, in July this year the new �400.000 childrens play area was opened funded by money from North Lincolnshire Council & Yorkshire Forward. Further work in the park will see the fountain upgraded too.
