Empowering Communities: Friends of Victoria Park and Waterloo Forest
In the heart of the Waterloo community, a dedicated group known as the Friends of Victoria Park is making strides in creating a safer, more engaging, and vibrant space for all. Their mission goes beyond beautifying the park; it extends to fostering community spirit and transforming existing facilities into valuable resources.
Victoria Park Transformation
The Friends of Victoria Park focus on several key objectives to elevate the park's status as a community haven. These include enhancing community safety, improving park maintenance, implementing crucial park improvements, and boosting community engagement. Their vision extends to creating a remarkable shift in the park's infrastructure and facilities, ensuring it becomes an indispensable community asset.
Waterloo Forest: Connecting with Nature
At the back of Victoria Park is the Waterloo Forest, a serene sanctuary that hosts various engaging activities. From Veterans Bushcraft sessions to social gatherings every Tuesday, the Waterloo Forest invites everyone to connect with nature. These sessions, held in the Waterloo Forest garden on Somerville Road, provide a space for veterans and nature enthusiasts to explore bushcraft skills and share camaraderie. For those intrigued by the allure of nature, Phil, the resident bushcrafter, can be contacted at 07961511223 for details.
Excitement is in the air as more engaging sessions kick off on January 22nd. The introduction of adults' nature connection activities promises a blend of natural crafts, therapeutic experiences, and the warmth of a campfire. Those eager to participate can book their spot via the My Outdoor Classroom website, www.myoutdoorclassroom.co.uk.
