Silver Birch Park is now open!

We’re delighted to announce that Silver Birch Park Linmere is now open for everyone to enjoy.

Located in Phase One, next to Thornhill School and the Fernlow development, the park can be accessed through the gates beside the school.

With a fantastic new playground, multi-use games area (MUGA) and plenty of open grassland, the park provides an important shared green space for the Linmere community.

Our playground and MUGA provide plenty of new spaces to play.

It’s also home to a brand-new bandstand created by a commissioned artist, on behalf of Lands Improvement Holdings. Inspired by the shape of sound waves, the design was developed in collaboration with pupils from Thornhill School and The Chiltern School. Look out for more news on this project, coming soon!

Our new bandstand was developed with pupils from The Chiltern School and Thornhill School.

You may notice that some of the grass looks a little sparse at the moment. This is due to the hot, dry summer weather, which made it difficult for the newly sown grass to establish. As autumn brings cooler weather and more rain, our contractors will be working to help the grass recover and flourish.

We’ve opened the park in August so residents can make the most of it during the school holidays. An official opening will follow in September, when we’ll welcome invited dignitaries and local media to help share the news across the region.

In the meantime, welcome to Silver Birch Park—we hope you enjoy it!
