Funding has been secured to kickstart a major revamp of a popular park.
The first phase of improvements to Browick Recreation Ground in Wymondham will include the creation of a “Miyawaki mini forest”, thanks to a £10,000 grant from South Norfolk Council’s Nature Conservation Fund, match-funded by Wymondham Town Council.
The project will see around 700 saplings planted using a Japanese method.
A spokesman for Wymondham Town Council said: "A big thank you to South Norfolk Council for supporting this project, and to town councillor Annette James for preparing the successful grant application.
"Together, we’re helping create a greener, more biodiverse Wymondham for future generations."
The mini forest forms part of the wider refurbishment plans for Browick Recreation Ground, which include extending the skate park and adding a multi-use games area.
Other improvements will include a trim trail, a path and a picnic area.
Two derelict buildings are also set to be demolished as part of the upgrade.
Work is expected to begin later this year.
