The main boardwalk at Thorpe Meadows will close on Monday, 1 June 2026, for around two days while essential repairs are carried out. Peterborough City Council confirmed the closure will affect only the boardwalk structures, with the wider park remaining fully open to the public.
Walkers, joggers and dog owners who regularly use the route as part of their daily exercise or leisure will need to find alternative paths until the work is completed, expected by Wednesday, 3 June. The boardwalk forms a key link through the green space, connecting with the broader network of paths around Ferry Meadows and Thorpe Wood.
The site has been managed since 2015 by conservation charity Froglife in partnership with the council. No details of the specific repairs have been released, but the council has described the work as necessary to maintain public safety infrastructure.
