A massive thank you to John, Harry and all of the volunteers for the months of hard work to give our local park a much needed face-lift! Not all heroes wear capes ❤️

What a day celebrating 100 years of Nitten Park! Thank you to everyone who took part in our raffle - please see previous post for the winners 👏🏻

We absolutely loved watching you all dress up as the King and Queen 👑 and seeing all the kids creating their own crowns to take home!

It was lovely to hear all your stories about the Gala Day over the years 🫶🏻 We even got a visit from a group visiting from America with their dad, who in was in the Gala Day! And from an ex Queen, who reigned in 1950 - watch out for those pictures!

Anyone coming along this week?! The Pavilion have kindly offered a cuppa voucher for any volunteers helping to get this mammoth task completed.

Your community needs your help!

Some of you may have noticed there has been a lot of work undertaken by a couple of volunteers in restoring and re-painting the fences around our park in the last few months. The final push is now on to get this completed before the park centenary celebrations in September.

If anyone could please spare a couple of hours (or more) then please pop along to the Park Road side of the park any morning next week, between 9.30-12 and community volunteer John will set you to work!

Paint & brushes are provided but feel free to bring your own brush or any safety equipment you'd prefer to use and remember to wear old clothing.

Come on Nitten, we can get this done 💪
Drop us a message if you require any further information.
