Elba Park
Houghton-le-Spring
From former colliery sites to reclaimed riversides, the spaces have undergone a transformation. Now they prove popular, with dog walkers, picnickers and day trippers. They get high ratings on Trip Advisor by visitors too. The maintenance of these sites is often dependent upon the efforts of volunteers. They help clear out invasive species and maintain footpaths. It keeps these vital green spaces open to the public and havens for biodiversity.
