The Level Restoration Project

Welcome to The Level Restoration Project web page.

The project's vision is to restore The Level as a high quality, well-used and vibrant city centre park welcoming people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds - while celebrating its cultural heritage and providing activities to meet the needs of today's users.

The Level is now closed while the restoration works are carried out. The park is due to re-open in July this year. We are planning a grand public opening event for the autumn.
