Crowdfunding campaign launched for Drovers' Way playground

3/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Local resident Jamie Grundy has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help refurbish the Drovers' Way playground in Clos Parc Radur. Below, he talks about the value of this important site - and his aim to help fill it with new equipment:

"There are many residents of Clos Parc Radyr and further afield who have used the popular children’s playground at Drovers Way. 

You can find me there most days with my daughter and my dog, trying to tire them out!

Having witnessed the playground's slow and sad decline over the years I’m doing something about it. I’ve set up a crowd-funding campaign to raise some money to help regenerate it. The playground has been half-empty of equipment for years - and I want to get it filled with new and exciting equipment. We also need to stop mud and water flooding onto the site.

Radyr & Morganstown Community Council and Radyr Park Management Committee have both pledged £5,000 towards the project - with the remaining costs being met by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government. Redrow Homes are leading on the investigation of the flooding and have promised to fix this problem. 

So my crowd-funding campaign is to cover part of the cost only. I’m trying to raise £2500 to buy equipment to 'fill the final quarter' of the playground.

To find out more, or to donate - please go to any of the following websites:


  • www.gofundme.com/radyrparkregen
  • www.facebook.com/ParkRadyr
  • www.twitter.com/ParkRadyr​

Please pledge what you can, even if it’s only a couple of pounds, because every donation will help a new generation of Radyr children to play in a fun and safe environment for years to come.

The campaign will be running until Sunday 14 July."

We think Jamie's crowdfunding campaign is an excellent idea - so please get behind him and donate whatever you can, to help restore this valuable playground.
