Planning
permission has been granted for exciting new leisure facilities at Furzton
Lake. The Parks Trust and Golf City MK have partnered for this project, which
will see the construction of a 27 hole dinosaur-themed adventure golf course and
a stunning new timber building housing a café and cycle shop.
This
will be complemented by a large outdoor seating area, with views across the
lake.
The
adventure golf course will feature an 18 hole section alongside a nine hole,
disabled friendly area. The existing car park will be extended to offer an
additional 28 spaces, including nine disabled spaces.
Already
one of Milton Keynes’ most popular parks, this development will make Furzton
Lake even more of a destination, and will also provide employment
opportunities. Building works are anticipated to begin in March 2017.
David
Foster, Chief Executive of The Parks Trust, commented: “We’re thrilled to have
been granted planning permission for this development at Furzton Lake. Our
visitor surveys always tell us how much people enjoy visiting Furzton Lake but
that they wish there were toilets, café and activities for children.
“This
development will give residents of Milton Keynes greater opportunities to spend
time with friends and family in an outdoor environment as part of a healthy
lifestyle. The proposed facilities have been designed specifically for this project
and are unique in the UK. They will conform to the highest design in terms of
appearance, safety and security. We can’t wait for the construction to start!”
