The park opened in 1872 and is designated Grade I by English Heritage. The Mayoral team has requested delivery of a number of infrastructure improvements for the park.

Along the length of the Trail it is proposed to install static fitness equipment in adjacent stations. The Trail is to be lit along its full length using LED stud lighting with complimentary signage to encourage and support appropriate use.
