Western Park, Leicester

[2][3] While the park has a "blend of meadows, mature woods and hedgerows"[4] the park also contains a large number of sporting facilities including a BMX track, a skate ramp, a baseball field, two bowling greens, five football pitches, six cricket pitches (all with associated changing facilities) and six tennis courts.

[5] The club later moved to a site on the nearby Eastfield Road; the courts on Western Park are now open to the public.

Until May 2013[6] the former park warden's lodge was home to the environmental charity Groundworks Leicester & Leicestershire,[7] formerly known as Environ.

It was open to the public and held one-off events as well as receiving visits from local schools.

[8] The Eco House and the neighbouring recycling centre were part of the larger Groundwork UK network.
