The Dell, Leamington Spa

Flowerbeds and paths were laid out in a formal style in the early years but eventually they were grassed over for economic reasons.

However since the formation in 1997, of Friends of the Dell, and in 2006, the Gardening Around Leamington Spa (GALS) group, who have helped the Warwick District Council maintain the park,[1] its good name has returned.

Friends of the Dell hold regular parties in the park, the most popular being the ones in early summer and Halloween.

In March 2011, there was more great news for The Friends of The Dell when they learnt that the nationwide "Big Lottery Fund" had granted them £50,000.

[3][4] Plans to spend the money include a hard path across the park to allow better access for the disabled as well as improved play equipment, new railings and an information board at the entrance.
