Our Progress in January 2017

Our Progress So Far... FFG formed in April 2016 to improve our park and the surrounding green space. After finding out we have secured some more funding for planting, we've now raised an impressive £11,769 so far and we're working hard to raise a lot more (any ideas or help always welcome!)

New Benches & A Wobble Board! Our two new benches have now been installed, one in the toddler area and another outside the park so dog walkers can sit and watch their children and dogs at the same time! We've added a new wobble board after the old one was removed some time ago. The roundabout and large slide have also been fixed! Let us know if anything else is broken using our Facebook page.
