By Ranger Drive, the three connected pools have been designed to function as a balancing (or attenuation) pond, and also act as a local nature reserve providing slightly different habitats. December is probably the least "pictorial" time to illustrate this interesting park feature. https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/?title=Balancing_Pond Image] The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018). The park needs more trees, and some have been planted, and the area will be even more attractive in future years. There is a basketball/handball court, tennis courts and a children's play area.
