Creation of a Country Park and extension of the Mersey Forest on a reclaimed former colliery site. Developed in close consultation with the community the Park provides meadows within the woodland, footpaths, bridleways, play area and a new fishing lake. The ecology of remodelled shale heaps was rejuvenated with new growing medium restored with treated sewage sludge cake from the nearby RIBA Award winning Shell Green processing plant, also designed by Austin-Smith:Lord.
