The Council is proposing to use funding from nearby developments to upgrade facilities at Central Park in Barry.

Central Park is a large park located behind Barry Library and Wyndham Street Car Park in Barry town centre. It currently has a play area, basketball court and youth shelter as well as benches.

The Council has received £144,000 from nearby developments to upgrade public open spaces and has identified Central Park as an area in need of improvement.

The Council is proposing to:

• Upgrade and expand the existing play area;
• Upgrade the multi-use games area;
• Install an interactive 'Sona' play unit;
• Replace the gates on the play area;
• Install new bins, seating and a water refill station;
• Remove the youth shelter to expand the play area; and
• Improve facilities for hosting events in the park.

The Vale Council hopes to capture the views of local residents on these proposals. You can contribute to the discussion by:
