If anybody is interested could you please attend as the more people we have in the photo the better.
As usual we meet by the tennis courts.

News Update.

For the last few weeks we have been busy laying the wood chip paths around the children's play area into the 2nd woods.
This is all going very well as it is linking very nicely to the pathways going through the 2nd woods and people are commenting on how much easier it is to walk that route without getting too muddy.
Swansea City Council are still laying wood chip and are heading towards the pathway that brings you out by the entrance to the show field.

We have obtained some fencing for our flower bed by the tennis court car park this was donated to us by the King Hotel so a big thank you to them.


And we have been given a key to the notice board by the tennis court so keep your eye on that as we are going to be posting a lot more in there from now on.

Again our resident photographer Martin has been out and about with his camera capturing these images from the park on Sunday11th March 2012 you can view them on his blog at:-

Weekend of March 3rd/4th News Update.

We have had a couple of busy weeks around the park as we have started work on putting wood shavings on the pathways around the 2nd woods and by the swing area.


As usual a big thank you to the City and County Council of Swansea for laying the pathway from the rugby club car park into the 2nd woods.
And also for putting a small footbridge across the stream in the 2nd woods allowing the water to flow into the old boating lake.

Footbridge across 2nd woods stream

Wood chipping path around the swings towards the 2nd woods

We have also cleared a little area behind the swings so we can allow wild flowers to grow.
Several people remarked that the shape of the clearing reminded them of an eye so we are thinking of placing a sign in the middle with a quote on it.

A sign will be placed on here with a suitable quote.

Also a wall which has been buried under years of overgrowth has re-emerged after a bit of clearance work, It is believed to be part of the old jetty from where the old boating lake used to be......Needless to say we are looking into it.
Again this is visible from the children's play area.

Part of the Jetty?????
