Calling All Teens!

As part of the Hertiage Lottery Fund project in the park, there will be a new "teen zone" next to the skate park. The form this is to take is yet to be decided. So who best to ask what form it should take than the teens themselves.

A special consultation event was held this afternoon to ask the local kids what they would like to see next to the skate park.  Two suggestions were favoured: a parkour park; and an extension of the current skate park.

As a little encouragement to get the kids to come, Overspray kindly put on an aerosol art workshop. This went down a storm, not surprisingly as it essentially kids having a go at graffitti!

So what will it be? Parkour or more skate park? Watch this space...

Family Fun Day

And what family fun was had!  The sun shone, the music played, the dogs showed, and the people came. With a record breaking turnout of what we estimate to be around 7000 people, 2014 Friends of Grosvenor and Hilbert Park Family Fun Day was a huge success.  There was something for everyone: the famous dog show; bouncy castles; games; crafts; donkey rides; hog roast; live music and performances; home made cakes; tombola; vintage cars; bowls; a beer tent; and plenty more.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers and FOGH committee members without which we would not have had this great event.

Must be donkey's break time!
