The £850,000 Bain Valley Park project was developed as part of East Lindsey District Council’s commitment to improving leisure provision for the community. It has seen the transformation of a former landfill site into a thriving community space that boasts landscaped gardens, grassed areas for picnics, benches and disabled car parking.

The project funded by the East Midlands Development Agency from a pot of money from the Brownfield Land Action Plan (BLAP) Programme which transforms waste land into attractive space for communities.

The original opening was planned for May 8 but had to be postponed due to rain.
