Parish Park
I’m sure you will all agree Streete Parish Park is at the heart of our community. Not only is it important for us to keep it in good repair, it is also important to involve our community in decision making for the betterment of our people young and a little older. Over the past number of years, the committee have been gathering information, and assessing long term sustainable redevelopment of our centre and parkland.
This will contain new multipurpose sports pitches, Landscaping, and a host of new ideas for the betterment of our future generations. Now is an important time for us to look to the future and make use of funding streams available. The centre itself is now in need of vital repairs and land drainage: To do this we are currently looking at ways to improve these fantastic facilities, which will play an important role in the development of our young people not forgetting anyone who have enjoyed using the centre and will continue into their golden years.
To do this we are presently brainstorming ideas and fundraising events. We invite you to come along on Tuesday Night at 9 pm where you can listen to what’s proposed, show your support, and take part in some exciting up and coming events. If you can’t make it and would like to find out more call Michael 087 9901890 Joan 0860755175 or Kevin 087 1375222
