The new park at Ravenscraig is open.
A new park (The Craig) at the centre of the former Ravenscraig steelworks site has opened next to the Regional Sports Facility.
The Craig is a key part the masterplan and is important for the regeneration of Ravenscraig.
Location of the park
About the park
The first parts of the park opened earlier this summer and provides new opportunities for:
- play and recreation
- sports and leisure for people of all ages
- families and communities to enjoy a high quality green environment
The final parts of the park, the pitch and the café kiosk, will open in the autumn.
We’ll continue to work with our contractor, idverde, who will help us maintain the Park over the next two years working with local schools to offer opportunities for work experience and placements.
