A new café and the hard work of volunteers have revitalised the once-derelict Becket's Park building.
A recent refurbishment of a 100-year-old pavilion has made a "big difference" to a town centre park, a voluntary group said.It has now been taken over and turned into a café for the park - which sits on the River Nene and opposite the town's university.
Mr Stephens said: "We thought the park needed a bit of improvement as it wasn't perfect then, had a bit of a reputation, and it was quite overgrown and unloved." Leases were agreed last year by West Northamptonshire Council for the café - and for the voluntary group to use the building. The café opened in May and Mr Stephens said: "It's really nice, it makes it has made a big difference to the park."Iain Hill, the owner of the café, said he had "been trying to get this for nearly 15 years".
