During this quiet time of the year news of major Park activities becomes a little quiet.

But like all good groups we are constantly out and about in the Park keeping ourselves busy with the little things in life.

You can follow our exploits on our FaceBook page at:-

Keep Wales Tidy recently visited the Park to inspect the 2nd woods area to see if we have retained our Green Flag Award which we won in 2016.
Members of the FOCBP and Our Place team took the judge (Zoe) around the park and pointed out work that was being carried out, and what our future plans were with regards to the area.
We will let you know the result when we have it.

After the success of last years 5K Carnival Fun Run which was held in the park, another one will take place this year on Saturday 17th June.

If you want to take part please contact Andrew on 07866 622877

Due to the continued vandalism attacks on the Wigwam we will no longer be reporting the issues on our Social Media sites as we believe whoever is doing it is gaining their own kudos by knowing they are causing a public outrage.

However the Our Place team will not give up and every time the work is destroyed they will return to rebuild it.

Also worth noting that even when the vandalism occurs, the local kids come back and help us rebuild it.
Whoever you are you wont stop the younger kids or anyone else from having fun in our park!

A big thank you to the City and County of Swansea for placing signs at Coed Bach road and near the King chippy pointing people towards the park.
A lot of people we talk to say that they did not know there was a park here in Pontarddulais....Now everyone will know :-)

Enjoy a walk and call back for a bite to eat or a pint

We also have news on a little event taking place later this month.
So come on get your running shoes on.

Fun Run

On Sunday 3rd July about 25 people competed in a 5k fun run/walk starting from coed bach following a route around allt y graban road and back into the park took place.

The organizers are keen to make this an annual event.

This is the sort of activity that FOCBP would like to encourage as it brings more people into the park and raises it's profile and of course the 2 organizations are able to work with each other to promote such events around the town.

A big well congratulations to all who took part in today's event.
