Improving Play Parks for All
What an amazing community event in North Walsham witnessed by inexcess of 3500 people. An amazing selection of food, drink and music topped off by a very impressive Fireworks display. Proceeds from this years event are to be split between North Walsham Play and the Sir Norman Lamb Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund. Thank you also to John Newstead for the great photos and Mark Debbage for the drone footage!

Its very sad to see not one but two of our basket swing seats vandalised within a 3 day period. This has cost North Walsham Play in excess of £1000 to put right after the first seat was damaged. To see the second seat damaged within 24 hours of being installed is heart breaking.
We won’t let this beat us!
We now need to raise some additional funds to look at procuring a more robst seat.

In less than 1 year since opening the new Memorial Play Park, North Walsham Play (in partnership with North Walsham Town Council) officially opened the town’s new Eco-Gym on Satuday 10th August.
The 13 piece outside gym is located in the Memorial Park and will be accessible to all 365 days per year!
4 pieces of equipment generate electricity which users can take advantage of by plugging in their devices to allow them to charg whilst they exercise!
Opened by Cllr Garry Bull (Town Mayor) and Malcolm David Wesby (Sheringham Shoal representative), the gym is the first of its kind within Norfolk. Special thanks goes to the following groups and organisations for their finaicial support to make this project possible:
