The friends of Shiphay Park have reason to celebrate this week as
work commences on the first phase of development in the park.
After a year of fundraising the group has now raised enough for a
basketball court to be built on the site, for the football area to
be improved, and for more seating to be installed.
When the group held their Party in the Park last summer, members
proudly wore T-shirts carrying their mantra of wanting to put the
yippee back into Shiphay.
With these exciting changes now under way, the group has shown
that a small number can make a big difference to the local
landscape.
