Paganel School Visit The Park

A group of Year 6 children from Paganel School visited the park recently to follow the Nature Trail and complete the quiz. They were inspired to come after listening to a local history talk which included mention of the Old Oak Tree whose stump now resides in the park (part of the trail). They were also looking for inspritation for their own Nature Trail at school. You can read all about their trip here.

ps. Our own version of the quiz is now up to date.

Memorial Bench

We are pleased to announce the installation of a new bench dedicated to the memory of founder member of the Friends of Selly Oak Park, Geoff Bartlett. The bench was carved by local wood carver Graham Jones who has two other carvings in the park.
