| 16 Oct 09 |
Our community is working together to build a park of inspiration and discovery.
A meeting place for young and old, locals and visitors. A park to explore, to enjoy, to play. |
|
 |
| Reminder: PLEASE help this Sunday |
|
|
Even if you can only attend for an hour or two, your help is desperately needed on site this Sunday 18th to continue the amazing work started last week at the Grand Working Bee. Many hands make light work. We need your help to achieve similar results this Sunday from 9.30am onwards. BYO rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows and gardening tools.
|
| Email: Yes I will be there this Sunday 18th to help finish the park in time |
|

|
| Work continues on site in whirlwind race to the finish |
|
|
Work is continuing apace on site. More post and rail fencing, building the iconic Robbie's Lookout, delivery and installation of seating, bricklaying, stone cladding, installing the personalised pavers, major earthworks, laying stone creekbed, rock scramble hillface and yet another generous donation from Woodend Nursery. Transforming by the day!
