The council say that work is due to start this month and will take several weeks, during which time the area will remain open to all.
Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “Our parks are loved by residents and visitors – and the boating lake area is a big favourite.
“We’ve recently improved the crazy golf course there, plan to introduce four giant model dinosaurs and, last year, introduced new pedaloes. We updated the play area in 2021.
“The result of our work over the coming weeks will be a cleaner lake for wildlife and recreation, deeper water for boats and more opportunities for education.”
The council say that improvements to the boating lake over the coming weeks will include the removal of silt, mud and other materials that has accumulated in the lake over time, the creation of an outdoor education area and the installation of three wildlife information boards.
The learning area will be put up near the lake’s landing area. Groups will be able to sit and learn there.
The information boards will be placed around the lake showcasing details of the local wildlife, promoting education and engaging with visitors interested in nature.
Funding for the new work comes from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and the Welsh Government’s Local Places for Nature grant.
