Transformation works begins at Waverly brownfield site
Master developers, Harworth, has prepared the Waverly brownfield site for the development of a 20-acre park.
The land and property regeneration company has also appointed Sky High Tree and Grounds Maintenance to carry out the landscaping for Highwall Park in Waverly’s former Orgreave Colliery as works begin.
Rotherham-based landscaping specialists, Sky High, is preparing for 40+ weeks of work, introducing a mixture of thousands of trees, foliage and ponds.
With a selection of play areas, the park will also feature sports and picnic areas.
Set to be the masterpiece of Highwall Park, the park will be developed in three phases, while the first phase should be open to communities later this year.
Peter Massie, national director of development and residential sector lead at Harworth comments:
“Our vision for Waverley has always included a vibrant green space at the heart of the development. We’re pleased to be at the stage of working with Sky High to get the park ready for the community to enjoy.”
Luke Hammill, managing director at Sky High also comments:
“As a local business, we are proud to be playing a role in the creation of Waverley and it is excellent to be delivering such a brilliant new space for the community.”
The park will run through the centre of Waverly from Olive Lane to connect with Waverly Lakes.
