Norwich City Council has secured £7.6 million from the Levelling Up Fund for a Health and Wellbeing project to improve Sloughbottom Park and Dolphin Path. This investment will create a more inclusive, accessible, and vibrant space for everyone in Norwich, supporting health, wellbeing, and community activity while enhancing biodiversity. The project is also supported by the Greater Norwich Growth Board (GNGB).

  • Refurbishment of existing Pavilion to include café, public toilets, and community room
