New Prospect Park Café Opens its Doors
RESIDENTS visiting Prospect Park can now enjoy drinks and snacks from a brand new café.
Hey Coffee is the much-anticipated new café hosted in the popular park. The exciting addition of a new café complements the Council’s newly opened half-a-million-pound playground and the new Ranger Station, which features a unique Reading-themed 9-hole mini-golf course, new play hub and activity centre with Sky Tykes low ropes and climbing tree.
The café is located in the Pavilion building opposite the new playground and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options for visitors to relax and enjoy refreshments. It is open for orders on Tuesday to Saturday, 9am-5.30pm and on Sundays 10am-4pm. The multi-function room within the café is also available for parties and meetings.
Councillor Adele Barnett-Ward, Lead Councillor for Leisure and Culture said "Regular visitors to Prospect Park will be delighted to see the new café open its doors. I’m certain it will prove to be a popular addition for individuals and families visiting our amazing new Ranger Station during the summer holidays.
“Prospect Park is a historic park and accessible destination: a place to visit to relax, play sport and enjoy life which also provides the opportunity to increase physical activity, health and wellbeing. This is yet another improvement to our leisure offer for residents.”
