Langer Park

Help us to make improvements to Langer Park, Felixstowe

East Suffolk Council is looking to make improvements to Langer Park in Felixstowe, as part of its commitment to enable communities and care for the environment.

The aim is to provide;
• a more welcoming space for local people and visitors to the town
• a green tranquil space which can be used by individuals and where families, friends and groups can come together and exercise
• a place to watch local wildlife or just relax
• a place that will be accessible and foster community pride in Felixstowe

Improvements could include;
• Renewing the children’s play area
• Re-landscaping the area to make it more welcoming
• Attracting more wildlife by planting lots more trees and plants
• Encouraging local people to use parks for exercise activities to improve physical and mental wellbeing
• Provide a well-managed area where groups can come together to enjoy the outdoor space
• Improved access arrangements to enable more people of all ages to use the park

We want to hear local people's views on what improvements they would like to see in the park. Please help us by taking a moment to fill in the short survey below.

The closing date for responses is the 31/07/20.
