Exeter’s newest park has sprung into life, with spring flowers blooming in the April sunshine.
Walkers can take in the spring colours at Northbrook Park whilst dodging the April showers!
Spring is definitely in full swing at the 4.5-hectare site just off the Topsham Road.
The former golf course, which is owned by the City Council and managed by Devon Wildlife Trust, is being turned into a tranquil greenspace for people and wildlife.
As well as the spring flowers, dozens of recently planted fruit trees are displaying vibrant blossoms, which can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
The trees will become a community orchard in the years ahead, for people to come and pick their own fruit. The overall vision is for a wild arboretum – a calm and tranquil tree space
A wildflower meadow has also been created to bring colour and wildlife to the space as well as thousands of bulbs planted and a large range of new hedgerow trees. New paths meandering through the site have also been added along with benches for people to sit and enjoy the park.
