Bringing together the communities and clubs that use our popular green space to celebrate the importance of public parks for physical and mental well-being, community connection and the environment.

All welcome and we look forward to seeing you there.
Izabella, Jenny & Steve spent Saturday painting the ladies public toilets in the park. This is now much improved but still closed whilst the paint dries. The men’s toilet is currently unisex and will be refurbished at a later date. We didn’t want to close both at the same time. Thanks very much to our volunteers.
The second bowling green in the park is no longer being used. Suggestions for other uses would be welcome. Are there any other sporting ideas? Ideas should be put forward by the end of December 2025.
