Park café closed for refurbishment

The café in Bromsgrove’s Sanders Park has temporarily closed for refurbishment.

It closed today (Monday Feb 2) after the previous tenant operator’s lease ended.

An interim mobile catering provider will now be sought to offer refreshments to park visitors while a long-term solution is finalised.

The closure does not affect the recently-upgraded public toilets by the café, which remain open and fully accessible.

Bromsgrove District Council’s portfolio holder for Leisure and Culture, Cllr Shirley Webb, said: “With the café’s change of tenancy it’s time to assess the options for improvements that could make an even better experience for park users. That will take a bit of time, so thank you for your patience.”

An estimated 350,000 people a year visit Sanders Park, which boasts facilities including a bandstand, bowling green, tennis courts, skate park, and multiple play areas over its 16 hectares - as well as a café building and public toilets.
