About Green Haven Urban Park

Green Haven Urban Park is a busy neighbourhood green space serving residents, visitors, schools, and local businesses. The team focused on practical evidence that could be reviewed consistently: maintenance records, accessibility improvements, community activities, and environmental outcomes.

Challenge

The park team needed to show a clearer connection between daily operations and applicant evidence. Visitor feedback, maintenance priorities, and community projects existed, but they were not joined into one readable story.

What We Did

Community programme evidenceThe team grouped volunteer activity, event attendance, and feedback into a simple monthly evidence pack.
Access and maintenance improvementsPathway repairs, signage checks, and planting schedules were tracked against owner, date, and outcome.

Results & Impact

  • Clearer applicant evidence for management planning and community benefit.
  • Improved communication between maintenance teams, volunteers, and local partners.
  • Reusable evidence templates that can support future award cycles.
