The plan includes the planting of around 65 new trees. These species are intended to be native tree species that are appropriate for a coastal environment. These have been included to soften the hard surfaced areas, screen the buildings and provide shade. This planting will also help to define specific areas with different uses within the park.
A picnic area with seating is located near the temporary toilet. Trees planted around here should also help to provide some shelter and shade to park users.
Grassed areas have also been retained to provide for open space areas that can be used by the clubs for rigging of boats, windsurf equipment and for any other casual recreational use. Other unformed gravel areas are also proposed to be re-grassed to increase the green areas within the park.
Tidying up and removal of some existing vegetation in the park and fence removal works will also help to improve the views out to the estuary and security. In order to meet CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) guidelines(external link), it is important that there is good visibility into the park to deter antisocial behaviour.
