Join us behind the scenes in the beautiful — and often very wet — Lake District as Christine Fawcett, Parks Manager for Keswick Town Council, shares how her team maintains two of the area’s much-loved green spaces: Fitz Park and Hope Park.
Fitz Park is the community’s hub for sport, home to cricket, football, athletics, grass-court tennis and a bowling green. Hope Park, loved by visitors, features a 9-hole pitch-and-putt surrounded by stunning scenery. With such diverse grounds to care for — and the Lake District’s famously challenging weather — aeration is a key part of keeping these parks in top condition.
In this video, Christine explains why the team chose the SISIS Dart aerator, how it performs across a wide range of surfaces and the benefits of its different tine options for year-round turf care. From autumn renovations to winter prep, she shares real-world insights on maneuverability, affordability, running costs and day-to-day practicality.
