The Wat Tyler Project is transforming the Park, with its legacy of historic buildings and fascinating wildlife, into a centre of excellence and regional destination of choice for over 350,000 visitors each year, where people and families can relax, play and learn.

The project is providing major enhancements to the existing range of facilities as well as bringing new and exciting opportunities for individuals, schools, organisations and businesses.

Education and learning at all levels, improved access throughout the Park, habitat management that will create even greater biodiversity and the new Wat Tyler Centre that houses an exhibition area, classrooms, café/restaurant, sports area and conferencing facilities. The project is an exemplar of sustainable technology, with the refurbishment of several buildings achieving carbon neutral status.

Design company DOT are partnering with landscape architects Allen Scott to deliver the project which will serve as a model for other sustainable development programmes that follow. DOT have designed the Wat Tyler branding and a major exhibition space at the Park, interlinked with interpretive trails designed in partnership with Allen Scott, along with this media-rich web site.
