Heywood Distribution Park

At Heywood Distribution Park, we made significant improvements to the onsite environment, engaging customers, and demonstrating leadership in sustainable land management in 2024. As the park matured, there was no dedicated area designed for activity, direct connection with nature, or time away from the working environment. Access from the Bury side of the park was also indirect, making walking or cycling less convenient and limiting opportunities for healthier, more sustainable travel.

We adapted a landscaped area beside one of the park’s ponds to create a simple outdoor fitness and wellbeing space, designed to sit naturally within the existing setting. This builds on earlier biodiversity initiatives across the estate, where planting and habitats now support thriving onsite beehives and wider pollinator activity.

Alongside this, a new rear pedestrian gate was added to provide a safer and more direct route into the park, supported by a surfaced pathway, clear crossings and additional planting. By improving both the quality of shared space and how people move through the estate, we continued to create an environment that supports day to day wellbeing while remaining practical, accessible and environmentally rich.
