Mina Road Park Group

A group interested in Mina Road Park, and other parks in the area, was established in 1997.

The Mina Road Park Group are organising a 'fete' style event for Saturday 22 September in order to celebrate the ongoing refurbishment of the stream, and particularly, the creation of the SSC - Second Stream Crossing.

The event will include stalls and entertainments, including acoustic music - no PAs. The ethos is voluntary and not for profit. If anyone would like to contribute please contact any member of the Group, or Roland on 07918697206. Hopefully we will provide a special afternoon for all those who visit the Park.

Restoration of Horfield Brook update

Restoration work is now under way and the structural work will be completed by the end of February 06. Once the main restoration work has been completed, there will be new planting along the stream in early spring. This work will have an impact on the appearance of the whole park, with a clean flowing stream, new planting encouraging new wildlife, a dipping platform, and (we hope) a second bridge. As part of this project, we will be encouraging local schools and youth groups to become involved to help them learn about environmental issues, nature and the importance of keeping green areas clean and waste free. There will be an opportunity to discover and explore the history of the brook and a chance for everyone in the local community to find out more, including a small display showing the history of the stream and work progress at The St Werburghs Centre. You will also be able to find out more about the project and the Mina Road Park Group.

The Park Group is also always looking for new volunteers. If you do have anything to contribute, would like to join the Mina Road Park Group, or would like more information on any of the above, please contact:
