Friends of
Queens Park
The ‘Friends’ group has welcomed some new
members this month. We would love to have
you join us, look out for the date and time of
our next meeting, monthly in the park lodge.
We have seen the arrival of a new tree carving in the
children’s playground, a dragon. We held a competition for a
child to name the new dragon collecting lots of suggestions
and having a judge choose the best name. The dragons
name will then be made into a plaque and placed on the
dragon, look for the dragon’s name next time you visit.
The tree that was used was a large oak and has been
replaced by three new oak trees in the park.
We are now putting together a list of events to take place
on the outside theatre throughout the summer months.
If you would like to hold an event please register with the
council and fill in the appropriate forms.
We continue to meet and greet on Sundays outside of the
park lodge, come along and pick up your healthy duck food.
The park has also been entered for this years RHS in Bloom
competition and has been awarded the highest mark Gold
several times so we look forward to achieving this again
this year.
