New improvements at a popular green space have been unveiled as plans gather pace to revitalise the area.
Leavesden Green Recreation Ground now has a wider central path, designed to accomodate more people, and a gravel walkway to connect different areas of the park.
It comes amid plans to reduce mowing on the edges of the area and plant new trees later this year to boost biodiversity.
Watford mayor Peter Taylor said: “We are pleased to unveil the completion of these enhancements at Leavesden Green Recreation Ground, demonstrating our dedication to creating inclusive and accessible green spaces for the community.”

Cllr Tim Williams, Portfolio Holder for Parks, added: “The council is committed to making ecological improvements across the town.
“With a designated biodiversity area and new trees being planted, we are fostering a thriving ecosystem within the park, while improving air quality and providing habitats for various species.”
Seventeen of Watford's parks and green spaces have been awarded Green Flag status - an award given to the UK's best parks.
