Main features:
The success of Jubilee Park is a testament to the power of community engagement. With an active and dedicated community group, (Friends of Lincoln Gardens) the park has been able to secure grants that were not available to North Lincolnshire Council (NLC), demonstrating how supporting communities can lead to wider benefits for local assets.
Jubilee Park exemplifies North Lincolnshire Council’s dedication to green spaces and community engagement.
The park offers 30,000 sqm of green play space, including dedicated zones for toddlers, juniors, and skateboarding.
A cycle circuit offers a safe and themed space for children to learn bike/road safety. Working with the local community, the park has seen significant environmental improvements and will continue to do so in 2023.
Future enhancements include a football pitch, new pathways, and updates to the cycle proficiency scheme alongside continued commitments to environmental and carbon-based projects.
With over 6000 spring bulbs added, 20 new mature trees, a native British meadow, bird boxes and new seating it really is a park for all seasons.
Jubilee Park History
Between April 1964 and October 1982 Jubilee Park was the proud home for this decommissioned Stephenson and Hawthorne 0-6-0 Locomotive.
The work and life of a locomotive was hard and demanding and it provided over 20 years of support and service to the Steel Industry. It entered service with Appleby-Froddingham Steel Co Ltd at the Froddingham Steel Works and latterly for its final years with John Lysaghts Scunthorpe Works Ltd at the Normanby Steelworks.
The locomotive was decommissioned in 1964 and kindly donated to Jubilee Park after work was carried out for safety purposes.
Donna, as she is now known, currently resides at Marley Hill on the Tanfield Railway.
