The park is being funded by Leeds City Council's city centre enhancements fund along with money from the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government’s Pocket Park Fund, and The Veolia Environmental Trust’s Landfill Communities Fund. Becca Dent, strategic delivery programme manager at Canal and River Trust said: “This is a project close to my heart, that’s been a few years in the making and it’s great to see work begin onsite. Helping people to connect with their local canal or river is a hugely important part of what our charity does as independent research shows that being by water can really help boost our happiness and wellbeing.
