Visits to the Park by schools and SVI
are a great success
In June and July the park was visited by pupils from Eaton Valley Primary School, King George V Primary School, Phoenix Colliegate, Sandwell College, and Sandwell Visually Impaired. Richard the Park Ranger, Restoration Project Manager, John Satchwell, and members of the Friends Committee, have brought the visitors attention to flora and fauna, the history of the park and the restoration. The Primary School children were asked to produce poems, posters, or stories relating to respecting the park for display in the Park's notice boards. Do take a look at the wonderful work produced by the children, which will be changed regularly. Two examples feature below. It is good for the children to learn about enjoying and respecting the park, and the visually impaired enjoyed the park from a sensory aspect.

Sandwell Stride Health Walks in the Park every Monday afternoon, except Bank Holidays. The group meets at 2pm in the newly restored Avenue at the main Reform Street Entrance to the park, and the walk takes approximately an hour.

The Friends are promoting the restoration of the park by giving presentations to community groups across the Borough and beyond.


We give presentations, which are very well received. If your group would like to learn about the history of the park and about its restoration please e-mail Carol on carolh.fodp@btinternet.com,
or ring 0121 588 4747, to discuss.
