Councillor Tim Ball, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “We have wonderful parks across Bath & North East Somerset and it is great to see Alice Park being used for a community event aimed at young people.”
Councillor Joanna Wight, Chair of the Alice Park Committee added: “Alice Park Committee works really hard to look after and maintain this fabulous space in our city and we are all so pleased to hold this event.
“Alice Park is valued by generations of residents in Bath, who have spent time under the trees, climbing the trees or just enjoying being with the trees, so I am delighted that we are launching our Treescape Maps. They will allow so many of us to identify and know more about the wonderful trees in Alice Park."
Bath and North East Somerset Council is the sole trustee of the park which is managed by the Alice Park Trust Sub-Committee under delegation of the Charitable Trust Board.
