We are so sorry to hear this, our sincere condolences to his friends & family. He was a wonderful guy, and a real artist with a chainsaw - he carved our first 3 logs in the Park, the Dragon, the Welcome Log and the Train
It’s going to be a colourful day. Looking forward to working with the team from The Wisdom Hospice today.
Cannot wait to make some land art! Long grass, twigs, stones, leaves and seeds. Two days of Land Art with our friends over the other side of the creek.
Last Newt survey yesterday evening for this season, good numbers recorded with lots more female Great Crested Newts this time all of which should be laying eggs.
Hope you all enjoyed the sessions they have been very successful and it fantastic to have records of the local area.
We will be looking at works over the autumn to improve the habitat further.
Lovely evening for a Survey.
If you know anyone that was coming along please let them know many thanks.

It’s that time again, the last survey tomorrow evening meeting in Green Porch Close at 8:15pm come along and see the Great Crested Newts.
The amazing little space the other side of the creek need a hand to tidy the grounds, pop by and meet the small team that help keep it in check.

Happy Easter, I hope you have had a great few days. The task day will not be on tomorrow. We will be back to normal next week.
Some pictures from today many thanks to the 212 people that registered at the check in desk. We took £77 pounds in donations towards future events at the park, which is fabulous.
A Teddy Bears Picnic will be the next theme when we work with KCC Children’s centres.
We was so lucky with the weather this morning, it was a great way to kick off the season.
We are set up and ready to go, please note carpark will close at 1pm
One more survey session left for this season 26th April come along and explore these amazing beasts.
This evening we will be running a Newt survey meeting in Green Porch Close for 8pm this will last about an hour and a half. Wrap up warm it will be chilly and bring your wellies. Mike Phillips will be with us to show us the correct technique.
Let’s see if we can find some more of the Great Crested Newts it’s been a success so far!
Some great boot camps to be had and the first one is free!!!
What a gem! We have never visited before but we will be coming back!!
We have found this country park a while ago and it's the one the kids keep asking to go back to.
The play area is great for all ages and big playing fields too. Running tracks and bike trails are great too.
Always clean and tidy.
Great events happen too we have been to 3 now and have all upcoming ones on our calendar.
Very welcoming staff at events and so helpful.
Highly recommend to anyone
Defo a hidden Gem
Just wanted to say a really big thank you to Kris and Linda for the Woodland Craft morning that my family went on today. It was incredibly well run, very informative and really enjoyable. We came home having had a brilliant couple of hours out in the fresh air and armed with new skill. Kris was an excellent tutor and very knowledgeable. We're really looking forward to coming back again soon. Thanks again.
A little bit of heaven in Swale, so many undiscovered places. I often walk with Coco and Fudge our Puggies from Grovehurst to Holy Trinity church via the pond and love the route from Gas road all the way around. Even walked to the Steam railway station but never got as far as the Sheppy crossing as yet. Always walk at least 3 miles a day. I think they should have an outward bound course for Swale councillor's as I know some do not appreciate what we have on our door step. Keep up the good work! ����
A fabulous park - great for children to 'run free'! Fantastic free events, walking trails and for dog walkers - always clean and tidy x and of course friendly & helpful park ranger!! �
Just needs toilets & all year round car park! xx
