Four huge model dinosaurs set to be installed at popular boating lake
@Source: walesonline.co.uk
Singleton Park in Swansea will soon resemble Jurassic Park as four giant model dinosaurs are set to be installed. Swansea Council made the announcement as part of plans to improve the boating lake.
Improvements to the boating lake are being made over the coming weeks and as well as the prehistoric arrival will include the removal of silt, mud, and other materials that have accumulated in the lake over time, the creation of an outdoor education area, and the installation of three wildlife information boards. The learning area will be put up near the lake's landing area.
The information boards will be placed around the lake showcasing details of the local wildlife, promoting education, and engaging with visitors interested in nature. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here.
Swansea Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: "Our parks are loved by residents and visitors and the boating lake area is a big favourite. We've recently improved the crazy golf course there, plan to introduce four giant model dinosaurs and, last year, introduced new pedalos. We updated the play area in 2021. The result of our work over the coming weeks will be a cleaner lake for wildlife and recreation, deeper water for boats, and more opportunities for education."
Funding for the new work comes from the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund and the Welsh Government's Local Places for Nature grant. Work is due to start this month and will take several weeks during which time the area will remain open to all.
