Victoria Park Masterplan

In Spring 2020, we asked local people what we could do to improve Victoria Park in Haywards Heath. Landscape Architects prepared draft designs based on their feedback. The designs showed long term plans for how the park could be improved over time.

In Summer 2020, people had the chance to comment on the design and say what their priorities were. Landscape Architects refined the draft masterplan and made suggestions to the Council for priority areas for improvement based on local feedback.

Once funding was identified, plans were developed for two of the key priority areas identified through the consultation. These were improving play provision throughout the park and improving access from the park’s northern boundary with South Road.

A number of specialist surveys were carried out and the views of local people listened to, so the Landscape Architects had a more detailed picture about the park and what the issues were that needed addressing.

In early 2024, plans were submitted for planning permission.

The Masterplan also includes other proposed enhancements such as improved footpaths and better drainage of the playing field and, when further funding is identified, we will let you know how we plan to progress these aspects.
