Our new play area comprises of several peices of equipment that are accessible to all. More are planned for the future. Play Park Improvements 2021-2025 The plan The reality Abbey Park Community Association (APCA) are pleased with the improvements the playground on Abbey Park and we hope you are too. Two benches were installed on the park during 2024 and are enjoyed by many people. They really have been a fabulous addition. See stock photo below. Subject to funding there is potential in Phase 2 to include a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) with low level football goals on the flat area between the trees/bank and the rear of the houses on Waltham Close - see drawing below. This eventually incorporate landscape planting so the views from the nearby houses remain green and pleasant. At the beginning of March 2025 APCA volunteers installed a Willow Weave Tunnel (See photographs below) similar to the one in West Bridgford Park. Positioned between the play park and the nature trail, it provides a natural link between the two area. Obviously, it will need to establish itself, so we ask that you and your children respect this while the cordon is in place. Outline of Willow placement Cut out Complete with bark chipping Outline of Willow placement 1/11 Outdoor Gym - Calisthenic APCA have worked long and hard with Rushcliffe Borough Council to gain adult outdoor gym equipment to be included on the park. As with most things, it took a long time in the planning, but continued to move forward and earlier this year an amazing Calisthenic Gym was fitted using Section 106 funding - More can be found out about this by following the link https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/general-planning/what-are-developer-contributions The gym has already proved extremely successful and we already have a regular ladies group that uses it. see photos below.

Community Gathering July 2025 We can't quite believe that this was our fourth Community Gathering! We were so grateful that the weather behaved. After having had a week of extremely high temperatures almost hitting 30, we were concerned that the heat would be too much for everyone or that heavy rain might spoil the event. Plenty of plants and books were exchanged and the children loved having their faces painted and henna tatoos done. New activities this year were Tug-O-War and Splat the Rat, both of which went down a storm. in the quite corner children were able to take part in colouring and painting rocks for Abbey the Adder (to be found at the top of Back Alley. Bike-works were able to provide many residents with a quick service (for free) and the Ice cream man was as busy as usual. We were thrilled that the Fire Brigade were able to take time out to visit us and let the children experience being in their fire engine. With chairs provided by the committee some residents were able to sit and enjoy a fun afternoon while other brought their blankets along with picnics. Thank you to all those who were able to make it an enjoyable time. Our primary aim is to bring the community together. Any monies raised go to funding the Liability Insurance (required by law) to enable this and all the other events organised by the committee.

I was looking around a couple of years ago and found GHS Charity Scheme, it looks like they are still running, but, unfortunately, no longer able to accept nominations for new charities. The current charities they can support are: • Help For Hero’s • London Air Ambulance • RSPCA • Ability Dogs 4 Young People • Alicia Panel Fund • Alzheimer’s Research • Springboards Projects • Hurstwood Park League of Friends • French Bulldog Saviours • Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline • Downright Perfect • Cancer Research • Hants and IOW Air Ambulance • Harbour Cancer Support • Hearing Dogs For Deaf Children • Pathfinder Guide Dog Programme • Gift Of Sight It looks like quite a few of those are local to the Portsmouth area, where GHS are based, but there are also some national charities. If there is nothing at the moment, is there any interest in setting up a collection in the Abbey Park area? Cheers Gary J'aime 4 commentaires 4 abbeyparkng 05 déc. 2020 Just for fun.

A brief history of Abbey Park and it's immediate surroundings Home A.P.C.A.Minutes Green Areas Clubs & Activities Abbey Park History Items WeBCan More Back Abbey Park History Side by side map OS 1:10,560, 1949-1969 map and present day Abbey Park in West Bridgford estate is a quiet area of West Bridgford with an ever growing range of cultures. It constructed during the mid– to late–70s on land that were previously uncultivated fields and allotments (some of which still remain). The Willow Tree pub was constructed at the same time. The roads are named after famous abbeys and are laid out in a manner that precludes fast driving. The majority of homes were constructed for private purchase, however there are a smaller number constructed for social housing . A mix of three, four and five-bedroom homes on the private‐owned estate are townhouse , semi-detached , link detached, and detached configurations, with a small number of bungalows that are sought after. Bisham Drive, Dale Close, Newstead Drive, Mountsorrel Drive, Fountains Close, Waltham Close, and Nearsby Drive form the larger housing areas with the houses arranged in cul-de-sacs . The two through-roads on the estate are Rufford Way and Buckfast Way. Below you will see original plans for each of the styles of houses built on the estate Tewkesbury Close, Hexham Close, Bolton Close, and Furness Close, and includes some warden-aided accommodation for the elderly are to be found near what was the old Council Depot site and a community Centre sits along side these dwellings .
