"The Friends of Ropner Park" Friends of Ropner Park Ltd. is a registered charity. Our aim is to bring enjoyment of the park to as many people as possible. We put on events, bring in entertainment and help to keep the park in its pristine condition. We also run the Cafe in Ropner Park which is open every day. |
Sensory Garden The Friends of Ropner Park are in discussions with council officials with a view to recreating the rose garden with an emphasis on plants with perfume. The new garden would be around the bandstand.

Friends of Ropner Park Our Christmas Event was once again very popular, the crisp snow giving a picture postcard Christmas feel. Although the mayor`s chauffeur was snowed in, The mayor and Mayoress Counc. Paul Kirton and his wife Mary still managed to come and open the event. The mayor had to dispense with his robes and chain of office, but did bring along a replica t-shirt. Sadly Santa could not come owing to a technical fault with his sleigh. He sends his apologies. The old Glory Zazz band (right) soldiered on despite the cold. Christmas Carols sung by the choir or St. Peter`s church were another highlight. ............. Leaflets are available in the cafe for a childrens` guide and games, orienteering and park walks. |
