Rice Lane Recreation Ground - Liverpool Rice Lane residents and the neighbouring area of Orrel Park have campaigned for street trees in their vicinity without success as no agreement has been achieved with Liverpool Council on new street trees as a priority and no acceptable or affordable tree pit design for pavements has been agreed for residential streets. Given the lack of green corridoring from street trees and the poor provision of accessible and quality green space in the north east of the city, The Mersey Forest have been approached by the Friends Of Rice Lane Recreation Ground to provide trees, new woodland and existing woodland management and access pathways to link the park to and between its neighbouring residential populations and the Sustrans loopline. Rice Lane Recreation Ground is classed as a Distrcit Park and should therefore have a level of recreational activity and stature as specified in the recent Liverpools Parks Strategy and Planning guidelines PPG17.At present the park is a vast open space with sports fields and some woodland fringe. A multi level approach (detailed below) following recent motorbike and vehicle access restrictions combined with daytime disability access, access site line, and single point seating improvements should improve the park and visitor numbers. Currently the park is accessible by around 2000 homes in the immediate neighbourhood and another 2000 homes within a 10 minute walk of the site.
• Multi age exercise (green gym) points - 7 have been installed
• Seating has been installed in the formal part of the park on Rice Lane.
• Restricted access Further improvements intended
• Improved security to houses adjacent to the park
• Signage
• Dangerous tree removal
• Access Footways to the south east together with woodland creation
• Existing Woodland management and informal access pathways
• Avenue and trees of interest planting
• Childrens play Pathfinder equipment A multi funded approach with the collaboration of the Friends Group and Liverpool Parks and funding through The Mersey Forest and partners will offer the following regeneration benefits given the downturn in regeneration spending in traditional HMR areas and the value of the Health agenda e.g. exercise on prescription.
• Meets Sub Regional Economic Partnership Targets in terms of Infrastructure and Quality of Life
• Delivers RES Actions of the Newlands Green Streets agenda
• Meets targets of Planning policy guidance PPG 17 on planning and open space.
• Satisfies the greatest need locally and within Liverpool partner organisations pending Master planning and street tree implementation elsewhere in the city.
• Supports neighbourhood subject to high tenure but at risk of outward migration should quality of life issues not be addressed.
• Offers launch pad space for the health agenda
• Complements the NWDA SIA (Approach A580) Aintree Industrial Estate and Brookfields Business Park immediately adjacent and Stonebridge Park to the east, which have all received recent infrastructural/green infrastructural and creation investments.
• Supports aims of Liverpool City Councils Unitary Development Plan 2002
Sustainable communities are places that people like living in, and want to stay in, neighbourhoods with real character and sense of place. These successful places should have well-designed green spaces that people will want to use and respect” CABE Space
