What’s happening in Blondin Park?

If you have not visited Blondin Park for a while you may be in for a surprise. Thanks to funding from the Northfields Ward Forum we now have new benches and bins and a path all round the perimeter (approximately 1 km), surfaced in ‘hoggin’ which is just right for those who like to jog round the park to keep fit. Keeping up the fitness theme, we also have a new MUGA (multi-use games area) in the corner of the sports field. In the nature reserve the pond has been re-excavated and re-lined and hopefully will soon be re-filled. A great deal of clearing of brambles and paths has also been carried out by Community Payback workers.

The Friends of Blondin group, which helps care for the park and recently carried out a big litter-pick, is planning to hold an event in the nature reserve on 18 July including a wild-flower walk, activities for children and a BBQ. Look out for further details on the notice boards.
