The purpose of the project was to transform the core area of this 22 hectare park in the centre of Reigate into a vibrant and welcoming urban oasis, using its heritage as the touchstone of the scheme. By the end of the 20th century, the Priory Park was in very poor condition and offered limited facilities to park users. With an eroded historic fabric and neglected appearance, the park attracted relatively few visitors. Appointed by Reigate & Banstead Council, LUC set out a strategy for the restoration and enhancement of the site to celebrate the history of the designed landscape, while also satisfying the needs and aspirations of contemporary site users. Over a five-year period, LUC worked in a professional and inclusive manner to achieve a completed project which has transformed the site into a vibrant, welcoming and dynamic public open space which celebrates its rich heritage.
