Monumental start…Up and Running for Business.
It was a soft opening that Friday morning, people had been told the fencing was down, so we waited with bated breath to see if anyone showed up, and boy did they!...

Radipole Sensory Garden April 2024; Surprising What You Can Find On a Building Site.
Though today's post is really about my accidentally discovering some of the park's history. For those of you that follow us, you'll know that our park and gardens were created out of an estuary, it's land infilled with the dredging from the other side of the newly built Radipole Park Drive....
Exciting Moment…A Tour of the Site; Radipole Play Park August 2023

EXCITED; JULY 2023 AND LOTTERY PROJECT WORKS BEGUN

Hands up, I'll admit to having deserted my scribings on our website over the last few months. It's been a hard one to focus on, hence most of our postings have been on our Facebook page. The year 2020 has been one hell of a ride so far. We are all living through something previously unimaginable, life changing, that'll go down in world history much the same as the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. As far as our Friends of Radipole Park and Gardens committee are concerned it has been a bit of an unknown. Watching and waiting for news of lockdown/slow release/ things permitted/possibility of...
What More Can We Say? Thank You For ALL Your Support
It's that time of year, Christmas done and dusted, visiting families returned from whence they came, beds stripped, washed and remade, cats enjoying last remnants of the turkey, me praying for a swift return to those lighter evenings, and our thoughts turn towards what was and what will be....
