Wheelbarrow Castle Field
Yellow Loo!
Pending the construction of our new permanent toilet, we have hired a yellow loo for the Easter school holidays – top of the park in the corner – you really can’t miss it!
Goat Box Coffee comes to Easebourne Park
Exciting news!
We’ve arranged with local Mobile Coffee bar The Goat Box to visit us in Easebourne Park over the Easter Holidays to provide barista coffees, cakes, bakes and cold drinks to visitors!
Tom will be with us from the 3rd April, most days and all over the long Easter weekend. The following week also on Monday to Wednesday and then again the weekend of the 15th and 16th.
We hope that it will be busy enough so that we can tempt Tom back again for selected dates throughout the summer!
The Goat Box will be serving from mid morning to mid afternoon – subject to change depending a little on weather and visitors of course. Don’t forget there will also be a temporary loo in the Park over the same period as we shortly begin the build of the permanent eco loos and the brand new roof for The Roundhouse.
Lots going on in Easebourne Park in the coming month!
Permanent toilets for Easebourne Park
Following on from the very successful trial of a temporary toilet placed in Easebourne Park over the summer school holidays last year, the Parish Council have now confirmed a contract with NatSol, an established and respected national eco-loo company, for the construction and installation of two permanent off-grid eco toilets.
These two toilets will be serviced daily by Wettons personnel and will be open during the hours of daylight and during the months when the Park is most used. They will be constructed of sustainable wood with a reinforced lining and with wooden shingle tile roofs. The wood for the roofs has been kindly donated by Cowdray Estate. The project to supply and build them has been entirely funded by local authority grants, applied for and won by the Parish Council, plus private donations and the National Lottery.
The installation by local company Artizans of Wood, constructors of the Park’s Roundhouse, will commence immediately after the school Easter holidays. However, to ensure that toilet facilities are available to cover the Easter break, a temporary toilet will be installed until the permanent toilets are commissioned. This loo will also be serviced daily.
We’ll add further updates as this exciting project begins!
Thank You Friends of Easebourne Parish
Friends of Easebourne Parish have been very busy planting 11 Jubilee trees in Carbon Corner in Eastbourne Park. The trees form part of the community orchard and include varieties of apples, a quince, two pears and a cherry.
Thank you Sara Davies, Phil Stringer, Frank Davies, Ian Milne (who took the picture!) and Jon Clarke.
The group will shortly be planting daffodils and crocus in the Park all ready for Spring 2023.
Easebourne Park Trails and Dens Inspection
Easebourne Parish Council has invited Lawrence Trowbridge of Wildwood UK back to our award-winning Park to inspect the dens and trails he created five years ago to back up the clean bill of health given to Easebourne Park by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) annual inspection in the summer.
Small Swings – REPAIRED!
We are aware that a bolt is missing from the small swings and have ordered a repair to be carried out as soon as possible.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Picnic in the Park success
2022’s Picnic in the Park took place last Saturday and was deemed to be another successful free event for the village.
We were treated to live music from Baby Eleanor and Yukon Bass, teas and coffees by the Church, delicious cakes and bakes from Pinders Patisserie, ice-creams from Deluca’s, Facepainting by the Guides, our Friends of Easebourne Parish, the school PTA, fundraising by the Parish Council and the Scouts.
The weather held out and several hundred parishioners enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. A big thank you to everyone who joined us!
Onto planning now for 2023!
Easebourne Park Gets Toilet Facilities
The Parish Council is delighted to announce that a temporary loo has been provided in Easebourne Park for use during the 2022 school holidays.
It will open daily from 7am to 7pm and be cleaned every day. If you notice any issues with cleaning please contact the cleaning contractor directly, Wettons, on 07775 922 729.
This temporary loo will be replaced by two permanent toilets in 2023, but in the meantime we hope it will be a welcome addition to the park.
