Springtime signs of hope

years ago into play equipment.

The aim is to make the play area more attractive to older children, aged 8-14, and improve the damaged facilities that are at the end of their usable life.

We’re also in the process of installing more benches to replace ones lost to vandalism and improving the facilities at the bowls pavilion, so more people can enjoy the game.

It’s a great way to meet new friends, get active and enjoy some time on the green. To give lawn bowls a go this spring, contact Eastvillebowls@gmail.com.

The Community Hub (in the Nissen hut) has a vibrant calendar of regular activities planned for 2023, but we’re proud to support the warm spaces initiative, giving people a warm place to come as the cost-of-living increases.

Our committee was successful in getting a grant to run a warm space for people to enjoy activities over a hot drink and meet with others in the community.

We’re keen to hear from all park users, about ways you would like to see the park improved or to volunteer your time.

We’re particularly looking for people who would like to help produce the 2023 Friends of Eastville Park calendar, so if you’re a keen fundraiser or photographer, or just willing to learn a new skill, please get in touch.

To find out more about Friends of Eastville Park and how you can help, please email friendsofeastvillepark@gmail.com for our latest newsletter. Sarah West
