• A thank-you message from Richard Gentry

    Richard was the Park Manager for Queen’s Park for 15 years until September 2022. QPARA made a presentation to him and his wife at the meeting in January. He has written to thank us.

    “Good evening Flavia,

    Could I pass on my thanks and gratitude to you as the Chair of QPARA and QPARA members. 

    Celia and I were delighted with the picture of the Queen’s Park Bandstand and the flowers which we received at the last meeting. The picture will take pride of place in our new abode. 

    As supporters of dog rehoming charities a contribution will be made in due course. We appreciate the generosity of members. 

    We’ve enjoyed our time in Queen’s Park and have felt accepted as part of the wider Queen’s Park community. We will miss the ‘vibe’ of the area, and the friendliness and kindness of residents and park users. 

    We plan on coming along to the larger park events. Someone has to help move those tables and put the gazebos up. 

    We will miss the Park and QPARA members dearly. 

    I’m sure that my colleagues will continue to deliver a Green Flag, Green Heritage and London in Bloom award winning park. 

    Once again, thank you all, with kind thoughts and happy memories.

    Richard and Celia Gentry.”

  • 10k Run for Salusbury School’s Greenspace – 5th February 2023

    The Friends of Salusbury School, (FoSS), the Parent Teacher Association for Salusbury Primary School, Queens Park, are raising money to improve the school’s award-winning outdoor classroom.

    4 teachers and 30 parents are running 10k on Sunday 5th February 2023. They can be sponsored at: https://justgiving.com/campaign/FOSSWinterRun

    Salusbury School Greenspace - raised beds.

    They hope to upgrade pathways, improve the lawn areas, and create more raised planter boxes and flower beds where children can get involved in growing – and learning about nature.

    Bringing young children out into the open to learn and play is an essential part of their development. However, it is equally important to allow pupils to engage in outside activities in a safe environment where their exposure to harmful UV radiation is dramatically reduced. It is most important to work with School canopy specialists to create comfortable outdoor areas for pupils to learn and play, no matter the weather.
