Recreating the Park

A 'commemorative' treeSince the report was submitted in 1994, and after lengthy discussions, many of these proposals have been implemented.
· The clearing of Rhododendron Ponticum is proceeding slowly but thoroughly, containing the new growth with a herbicide which is particularly ‘environmentally friendly’.
· There is a rolling programme of replanting and maintenance, with specie rhododendrons, all other plants, shrubs and trees.
· New pathways, improved car-parks and picnic areas, plus barbecue facilities and cycleways are making the Park increasingly attractive.
· The planting of “commemorative” trees is actively encouraged.
· The signage on the paths and walkways has been improved and where necessary replaced.
· Equipment has been installed which will give exact information on the number of visitors to the Park. Woodland and Loch
· There is active consideration, in all planning and planting, to encourage and protect wildlife.
· The loch has recently been dredged and cleaned, and therefore an even more spectacular display can be expected from the abundant water-lilies.
· Facilities for fishing for the disabled have been constructed.
· There is an active ‘Friends of Aros Park’ group.
