Explore Victoria Park

Children from Ashford Oaks Community Primary School, Beaver Green Primary School, John Wesley School and St Simon’s Primary School attended workshops with artist Becky Vincer to create pages for a new school’s resource book ‘Victoria Park Sketchbook’.

The creation of the book and the workshops took inspiration from the ‘Wreck This Journal’ by Keri Smith, a book that encourages creative thinking. The new schools’ resource is suitable for a KS2 level and will identify and explore the flora and fauna, history and the science and geography of the park.

You can download your own copy of the sketchbook to take to the park, along with some simple art materials to find new ways of looking, making and enjoying Victoria Park and Watercress Fields! To download the sketchbook head to www.victoriaparkashford.co.uk

Works to improve Victoria Park are still well underway throughout, but we will be sharing more updates as we hit the final stages very soon. For the latest news visit www.victoriaparkashford.co.uk

We are considering an event to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III on Monday 6 May. Our focus is on a community street party in the park for local residents. We are still in the planning stages, and if you would like to contribute ideas, or if you are a community group or charity who would like to discuss it further contact victoria.fannon@ashford.gov.uk
