Sconce and Devon Park in Newark is set to undergo a significant upgrade as Newark and Sherwood District Council invests in transitioning all lighting to energy-efficient LED systems. This initiative aims to enhance the park’s already prestigious Green Flag status, achieved through its exceptional visitor facilities and environmental standards. Recent improvements have included a new castle-themed play area, fitness equipment, solar panel installations, and a revitalized orchard featuring various native fruit trees. The park’s renovations also prioritize accessibility with new footpaths and a memorial rose garden for reflection. Council officials emphasize their commitment to combating climate change and maintaining high standards in green space management. The lighting upgrade is expected to be completed this week with minimal disruption to visitors, and further improvements at additional council-owned facilities are planned for the future.
