Abbey Park Lake Revived with New Borehole | Leicester News

After a brutal heatwave nearly turned Abbey Park’s iconic lake into a mud pit, Leicester’s green gem has been revived thanks to a sleek new borehole system that pumps 20,000 liters daily—smartly shutting off when full to avoid waste. The dredged silt? Repurposed into a thriving bog garden now buzzing with wildlife. While pedalos are gone for now, the upgraded system ensures cleaner, more reliable water, plus trimmed trees keep leaves out. And with its 29th Green Flag Award, the park’s still the crown jewel of urban greenery. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
