New park in Oldland Common could have cherry blossom avenue and orchard

A new public park planned for South Gloucestershire could include an orchard, wildflower meadow and an avenue lined with cherry trees. More details have been published about Jubilee Park, which would transform the former Warmley Pitch and Putt course in Cadbury Heath.

According to South Gloucestershire Council, there would also be a garden of reflection in the form of a woodland arboretum, to act as "a quiet place to sit and remember loved ones". The authority is currently asking for feedback on the proposal, with a consultation open until December 19.

It is also suggesting that one acre of the park should be taken up by a traditional orchard with apple, pear, cherry and other fruit trees. The space would be fenced off and kept dog-free, with a meadow pasture except for mown grass paths.
