Black Rock Access to Water and for All

An £8,260.50 Access Improvement Grant from Welsh Government has enabled improvements to the car park at Black Rock Picnic Site, ensuring better access into the site for fishermen and disabled.  Old wooden posts were removed and 20m of path surfaced.  New cast iron bollards have been installed to segregate the car park from the new pathway.

In order to improve access to water, Welsh Government’s Access Improvement Grant (£6,400) funded the purchase of a dipping pond.  Friends of Castle Meadows paid for installation.  It has allowed greater access for school groups and those with mobility issues to carry out pond dipping exercises. In addition it provides an amenity feature at Castle Meadows.

The galvanised platform was fabricated and supplied as a canter leaver platform 5m x 1m.

The platform is now in use by school groups and user groups such as Friends of Castle Meadows who take a keen interest in the management of the site for nature conservation and as an open green space which the public enjoy.
