In pictures: The new Elizabeth Park in Leamington

Named in memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II Elizabeth Park, located off Princes Drive, is being created through a partnership between Warwick District Council and Homes England.

Last week, The Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire and Mayor of Leamington joined Warwick district councillors, officers and project partners to mark the opening of the first phase of the park.

The new park will be developed in three phases, the first of which is now complete and open to the public, with new footpaths, landscaped grassland and sports area, wildflower meadows and tree planting.

Phase two of Elizabeth Park will follow the planned relocation of the Edmondscote athletics facility estimated for 2028, with the final stage linking the extended park to existing green spaces west of the athletics track along the River Avon.

Brian took the photos of the park while he was out and about with his camera on Monday (July 20).
