One of the most notable changes in the park for many years was completed in 2007: the restoration of the cascade and fountain. What a notable difference to sight and sound it is to have this water feature working again. Kirklees Council funded this project costing £138,000 with the Friends of Beaumont Park contributing £10,880.

The landscaping around this area is being done by Kirklees but the first task has been to eradicate the weeds from the bank which had become overgrown in recent years. Once this has been achieved Kirklees Council will arrange the area to be planted with appropriate specimens.(Photo by John Durrans)
