Reporter Kate talks to Brownie and Rainbow leaders about Longford Park
Please Report the Errrors?
OK, so that's a recording.
Um, So
I guess the first question would be Do you do you all use the park fairly often,
Or you regular users of Longford Park.
As a group, we have used the park. We pass,
Um, the rainbows and brownies we've done,
uh, nature trails in the park, and we have gone to the pets corner,
and we've actually done our own
teddy bear picnic in the park as well.
And in the summertime we have is the adventure playground,
which I went to a couple of weeks ago with
the Monday night group that help out with occasional.
I find out the swings weren't there anymore.
Oh, yeah, They took them down.
Yeah, so it was a bit disappointing for that.
I
suppose
there would have been so much for the girls to do.
No, no, they were on the little roundabout thing over the back.
And then, obviously, the aerial slide. And
I think they were on the climbing frame as well.
Yeah.
Play sports in the park as well.
Just, you know, just outside here.
Right on the ground.
Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you.
Yeah,
yeah, I'm just thinking like,
you know, the gardens with all the trees and so on
around when the frog pond
is
around.
And then we
all like the one
that
we
end
up
on,
like with all the rocks that you
So did you say you did a nature trails
with
that? We do.
Right?
Right.
Um
uh,
So which areas of the park would you kind of think would be best to
go to if you were thinking of taking a group of rainbows for brownies?
I like the flower garden,
because then you can use the grass set to have, like, picnics and stuff.
Yeah,
um,
years and years and years ago, when Stratford pageants around the
brown
and guides and that part in the pageant as well. So
the use of the pageant in the park, it was good, because
I think we have stones at
one.
And is there anything that would encourage you to maybe take girls more?
Yeah,
if there could be anything changed about the park, or
I think better playground facilities there
and
what they've got at the moment. I mean, I know it's good at the moment.
I don't know. Maybe
I don't
know much more,
which is
in
the
bottom,
maybe more picnic bees or something as well, so families can enjoy it more.
The girls can sit around and picnic table.
You know, there's
enough
the
nervous parts for
us.
There wasn't enough picnic tables there for the girls
was last time we went. We all sort of
hobbled on some
more.
I think there's more like wooden things you can sit on now. So,
yeah,
so that's the kind of
the older kids play part.
We
used
to
take the rainbow.
Yeah,
the
brain
would be
It wouldn't.
Yeah,
OK. Is there anything anything else you'd like to say about the park? I use the
the cafe park.
Your husband and I go there quite a bit, which is very nice.
It's a shame the gardens are as good as they used to be. They
are getting better.
But
I can remember the house.
We
have
firework displays here as well.
It's at the the gardens with the flower beds,
but
you can see they are being improved.
There seems to be a
lot more care, but I suppose I kind of think it's money they need to do it.
You know
what
would you like to see in the gardens that isn't there,
I think
flowers that to this region.
So you've got, you know, like a region.
Because if you go to, like, the new place in
I don't know if you've been there. Not yet, but I like to
Yeah,
you'll see
the sort of
things
that
are nice.
And I think
you can do a conservation
adults
and Children,
you know?
So this is how you can pass.
This is why we do it.
And you can just do that, like, on a nature trail
or even in the garden so that you can actually
say. Oh, well, this is how we've grown this this is what we've used And in
sales,
right?
Yeah.
And that would raise money
to buy
more things.
Yeah.
I
don't know.
Something more
for
the Children.
Like,
I know we did
our own
child, but there was some activity along through the park that kids could do.
OK? Yeah, to kind of
encourage
more.
I mean,
not
like
that.
Like they had kids.
And then
you put
them
back as you go along with
other
people
to get
involved,
So
yeah,
that
sounds
good.
and they have,
like, messages on them.
That sounds like a good lockdown activity.
All right, well, thank you. That's super. All such off now.
