Councillor Jack Hemingway, Wakefield Council's cabinet member for environment and climate change, said: "We've looked at how most people use Pugneys and it's clear they come to play, walk and enjoy nature.He said the changes to park would offer "fantastic opportunities to walk or cycle, have fun and get outside in the fresh air".
"By planting trees and developing wildlife areas we can create spaces where visitors are surrounded by nature, to benefit people's mental wellbeing as well," he added. The council said the reception area in Pugney's visitor centre would close from 1 July, but the toilets and cafe would remain open during the work.
