Who are the Friends of Cherry Orchard Jubilee Country Park?
In the Spring of 2010, a ‘Friends of Cherry Orchard Jubilee Country Park’ group was formed. This allows us, the local community, to have a say in how our local park is managed. As we are the users of these facilities, we are best placed to say what is needed in the park.
What are our aims?
To protect, conserve and enhance The Cherry Orchard Jubilee Country Park as a place of freedom, recreation and enjoyment for the long term benefit of all sections of the local community.
To involve park users and local people, including local schools, in planning, decision-making and aspects of management affecting the park, or specific facilities within the park so that the park may best serve the local community.
To improve funding to maintain and increase the facilities in the park including working in partnership with other bodies.
To act as a focus for bringing the community together.
To encourage more people, from all sections of the community, to use the park and to enjoy its full potential and promote an atmosphere of mutual appreciation and respect.
