Plenty of
events at Coronation Park
A new events programme has been released
featuring a whole series of great activities at Coronation Park for
2009.
Why not make it your New Year’s resolution to
spend more time at Ormskirk’s favourite park? Whether you’re
looking for a new hobby, want to be more active or just enjoy the
great outdoors, there’s plenty going on this year!
With free events for all ages, from bird box
building, live music, astronomy evenings and photography sessions,
you can enjoy the splendour of Coronation Park.
Produced by West Lancashire District Council,
the programme is bursting with information about a wide range of
events to take part in. For instance, keen gardeners or people who
want to learn can become a ‘Friend of the Park’ and join in our
frequent conservation events.
Upcoming events are:
- RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch - Sat 24 and Sun 25
January, 2.00pm
- Bird Feeders Event - Wed 18 February, 2.00pm
- Bird Box Building - Sat 21 February, 2.00pm
Cllr, Geoff Hammond, Portfolio Holder for
Community Services said, “During 2009, there will be a series of
free events for all people at Coronation Park. It’s great way to
get the family together, you can even save money and have fun
during group activities. Also, you can listen to live music at the
bandstand throughout the year, which is available for performers to
hire.
“For children we have wildlife events like
mini-beast safari, brilliant butterflies and bird feeding. Other
fun activities include kite flying and conker competitions. During
the summer we will be hosting a series of sports days to keep
children active – so make sure you pick up a copy!”
You can pick up the programme from many places
in West Lancashire, such as your local supermarkets, libraries,
tourist information centres, hospitals, doctors, swimming pools,
hotels, leisure centres and villages halls. Ask for one next time
you’re out and about!
The events programme is also available to
download on our Coronation Park page. For more information
