Beggarwood Park Maze
The maze was constructed using 452 linear metres of machine rounded pressure preservative treated timbers, each timber was 100mm (4 inches) diameter and set into concrete footings alternating from a 300mm high timber and then a 1200mm timber as a continuous log wall following the maze pattern, the footpaths between the timbers were constructed from self binding fine hoggin gravel.
The works were designed by and carried for Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council as part of their Term Tender the works were implemented in 2012.
Beggarwood Park Is situated to the south west of Basingstoke, in the English county of Hampshire, and mainly serves the communities of Hatch Warren and Beggarwood. It was originally identified and developed as public open space to support new housing development in the area. Facilities in the park include a play area, an outdoor gym, a maze, amphitheater and allotments, all linked by a good footpath network. The Beggarwood Wildlife Group is encouraging chalk land fora to grow in the park.
Beggarwood is a housing estate approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-west of Basingstoke town centre. It was built almost completely in one phase between 2001 and 2009. There is a shop, a nursery, a pharmacy, a dentist and a doctors' surgery, on Broadmere Road.
