Wasn't the Park under threat of closure?

Yes, after SCDC was capped in 2005 the council had to look for ways of cutting the cost of running the Park and at a cabinet meeting in December 2006 they decided to close the park on 31st August 2007 if no one could be found to take the Park off their hands by then. After a large public campaign against the closure the Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust eventually emerged as the organisation to take over the Park which they did in the spring of 2008.
