Summary

Family Fun Show Volunteer

Detailed description

Friends of Central Park has for many years run a Family Fun show - usually in the late summer. On this day we encourage people to come and share the pleasures of the park. We haven't been able to run it this year but hope to next year (2026). We need enthusiastic people to make it happen!

 

We are open to new ideas: in the past it has involved funfair rides, stalls, opportunities to try fun games or sports, and entertainment (eg live music). We need someone to bring us new ideas, contact people who can help provide a fun day, and plan the day with members of Friends of Central Park. We want to create a day which offers fun, friendship and a sense of community. The role will involve some short meetings (maybe at the park or maybe online), plus some research and contacting people. Can you help us?

About Friends of Central Park

We are a small group enthusiastic about what Central Park can offer the residents of Peterborough; Central Park was created in 1875 as a formal Victorian Park. It is a unique attraction for a rich diversity of people from all cultures across the city - the “Jewel in Peterborough’s Crown”. It has been awarded Green Flag status (national award). It benefits particularly those who have few opportunities to enjoy green spaces, with health and social benefits, as well as offering many leisure opportunities - a brilliant cafe with a vibrant community, tennis, bowls, croquet and countless less formal activities. Young families adore the paddling pool and the sandpit. We represent park users, argue for their interests, and are now seeking better ways to work with partners to bring new income and new focus to the park in future.
