Allotments

Renting an allotment is an inexpensive way of getting your hands on valuable gardening space. Also, with increasing interest in healthy living, organic produce and a greener way of life, it has become a great way to meet fellow gardeners and socialise.We have 37 allotment sites spanning 76 hectares, or 3,000 allotment plots.

How to rent a plot

Our Parks Business Support Unit handles all enquiries for plot rentals.

• If you are interested in renting a plot, we will direct you to either Site Managers/ Secretaries or the relevant park officer.
• If plots are available at the site you want, you will be shown around vacant plots.
• If you wish to proceed with renting, we will give you an application form
• You must submit a completed form to Parks Business Support Unit; we will respond within four weeks. The current interest in the environment and healthy living has created an increase in demand; there is a waiting list for all sites.
