New café to be built at Black Park Country Park
Buckinghamshire Council is pleased to announce the building of a new café at Black Park Country Park in south Buckinghamshire.
Planning permission has been granted for a new café with indoor seating, an outside terrace, an external sales point for takeaway snacks and drinks, and improved toilet facilities.
The new building, which has been self-financed by Buckinghamshire Country Parks, will enhance the park space and improve the facilities for visitors.
Clive Harriss, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, said:
“I am delighted that we have the go ahead for the new facilities at Black Park Country Park. An indoor café near the car park will be a welcome addition to the park, giving visitors more options for catering in all weathers. In addition, the upgrades to the surrounding area and facilities will help to make the park even more enjoyable for everyone.
“Visitors to the park may notice some work starting this week, and we aim to open the new facilities in spring 2025.”
The new café will serve a variety of hot and cold drinks, meals and snacks, with catering provided by the park’s current catering company, San Remo. This will be in addition to the existing Lakeside Café – enhancing the catering offer within the park.
Work will be starting on site this week (3 September) with some tree removal taking place, followed by the removal of the current catering kiosk later in the month.
In the interim, San Remo currently has a catering trailer located next to Go Ape to serve visitors.
