Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) has confirmed the appointment of a contractor to deliver the upcoming redevelopment works at Hinchingbrooke Country Park.
The contract has been awarded to Lindum Group, with work scheduled to commence 13 April 2026, and expected to conclude Spring 2027.
This transformative investment will enhance the park’s natural landscape, upgrade visitor facilities, and safeguard its future as a treasured green space for the local community and beyond. Funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and capital budgets, the project will bring improvements across the park’s 150 acres of open grasslands, mature woodlands, and lakes.
The redevelopment will focus on enriching habitats for wildlife and ensuring the park remains inclusive and accessible for all.
Cllr Julie Kerr, Executive Councillor for Parks and Countryside, Waste and Street Scene said: “This investment represents a huge step forward for Hinchingbrooke Country Park and the wider community. It’s about enhancing the natural beauty and biodiversity of the park while providing better facilities for all who enjoy this incredible green space. We are committed to making Hinchingbrooke a place where people and wildlife can thrive together.”
The redevelopment will deliver a range of improvements across Hinchingbrooke Country Park, including enhanced biodiversity through targeted habitat management, a redesigned car park with additional spaces, accessible bays and electric vehicle charging points, and resurfaced pathways to improve access for all visitors.
Darren King, Lindum Peterborough said: "Lindum is delighted to be working in partnership with HDC on this project and is pleased to support improvements that will enhance the park for both current visitors and future generations. We are committed to working collaboratively with HDC to deliver a high-quality result while respecting the park, its users and the surrounding community at every stage."
The Countryside Centre will be redeveloped to include a new café, community space and modern kitchen, while new inclusive toilet facilities will feature accessible units, baby-changing stations and a Changing Places facility.
During the construction period, some areas of the site will be restricted. However, alternative pedestrian routes will be provided, and temporary facilities including mobile toilets and a ‘food cube’ will be available for visitors.
