New steps have been installed down from Red Walk on to Coleman’s Field. There are other developments in this part of the Dene, with construction workers dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s.
Repairs to Nature Area dipping platform
You may be aware that some nine years ago a new pond was dug in Jesmond Dene Nature Area, across the river from Pets Corner. The new pond was provided with a dipping platform to allow parties of children to dip for pond creatures. The supporting framework of the platform was made from recycled plastic, which has the advantage of not rotting, but is expensive compared to wood. The decking for the platform was made from wooden planks that we happened to have available at the time.

Well done, you ruined Jesmond Dene.
I've yet to see it in person, so maybe it's not as bad as it looks, but I loved how wild it used to look. From these images it seems to have lost all it's character. 🙁
Hmm, and I don't much like having to give you an email address just so that I can comment, I guess that's why there aren't more complaints on here.
