Upgrade Works Underway at Ashenbury Park

Work is underway laying new footpaths at Ashenbury Park in Woodley.

The nearly 50-acre park has a lake, a play area and paths for joggers and dog walkers. It can be accessed from Denmark Avenue.

Photos show Wokingham Borough Council contractors working on the paths in the grounds.

The council has begun a consultation on introducing a £2.50 all-day charge to use the car park there.

The council is carrying out a £201,190 upgrade at Ashenbury, covering footpaths and ecological enhancements. The programme was approved in March 2023, with management of the park transferred from the council's grounds maintenance contractor to its specialist Countryside Service.

"Income generated from the car park would support Ashenbury's ongoing development, management and maintenance."

"It would help provide a more reliable source of funding for looking after the park and making future improvements possible."

The council webpage says work on the paths will be completed this week.
