Seaclose Park Reopens After Isle of Wight Festival

The Isle of Wight Festival may have come and gone, but Seaclose Park is back in business, thanks to the hard work of the Isle of Wight Council's public realm, parks, and open spaces team. Two of the park's three tennis courts have reopened, along with the netball courts, and the shared-use pathway known as N120, which follows the water's edge from Seaclose Park to Island Harbour.
