Friends meet up with three local schools to set up a project to inform children about the restoration of the park

The Friends have met with Cronehills Primary School, King George V Primary School, and Hargate Lane Primary School to develop a Schools Project to inform children about the restoration of the park, its wonderful history, and how it can play a part in their lives in the future.We are visiting the three schools in February 2009, and then hope to roll it out to more schools over the period of the restoration. The Friends believe that being involved in the park’s restoration will give the children a feeling of ownership in this beautiful green space, and prevent misuse of the facilities and vandalism.
Photographs of children enjoying the park in the summer break. When the restoration is complete children will have many more activities to choose from, including a water feature, and much needed toddler swings.
 
The Friends are promoting the restoration of the park by giving presentations to community groups across the Borough and beyond.
We have already given three presentations, which have been very well received, and we have another three lined up. 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.
