Queen's Park in Caterham is an inspiration for our efforts to achieve a renovated play area for Grange Park. It is a model park, catering for all age ranges and hosts exciting and new play structures for hours of fun. How many times have you driven to parks further afield than the Grange Park Play Area. albeit that the journey is longer and more costly? We have lost count!

Heart of the Community Campaign
June 2014- We have entered Friends of Grange park into a competition run by the Croydon Advertiser and our nomination has been short-listed! If we win we will get a share of £10,000 to help renovate the play area. Voting starts on Friday 13th July and will run until 6th July. To vote you need to collect the tokens printed in the Croydon Advertiser from this Friday (13th).
Please collect as many tokens as you can. You can either vote yourself and send off the tokens or put them through my door (26 Waddington Ave) and I will send them off.
Waitrose green bin

Well done Ray and Mairwen!
