We've just had the first session with artist Dave Marchant and pupils from Ysgol Cwmtawe who are working together to design a mural for the end wall of the Centre. This will encourage young people to utilise the Centre and also give them some ownership of the building.
The mural
will showcase some of the wildlife in the Park and will be undertaken over the next four weeks. We will also shortly be welcoming our International Volunteers to the Centre who will be working alongside Dave and the school to create and paint the design. Updates will be posted as the project develops.
This project is supported by West Glamorgan Crimebeat Community Award and NPT Community Safety Partnership.
Those of you who have been in the park recently will have noticed the work done to the area just adjacent to the Centre. We've been clearing the overgrown area and cutting back the very tangled trees to make a space for our new picnic area.
It's great to see the area being opened up and able to be used now and we've discovered some very lovely small native trees that now have the space to grow.
The picnic area will contain rocks from the local quarry which over time will soften with weathering providing a natural looking space for people to sit down and enjoy the Park.

Many thanks for all who came, demonstrated, sold their wares and made our first Food Festival a great success. Steve Bartram from the Butcher's Arms fantastic demonstrations and the fab music kept people on site even when it rained in the last hour. We've had loads of positive feedback so watch this space as next year we're planning to make it bigger and better...
For those of you waiting for the videos of some of Steve's demonstrations, they will be posted on our Food Festival website in about a week.
Many of you have enjoyed the puppeting sessions run by Helyn Latimer of Puppet Theatre Wales at the Riverside. If you've missed them then see this short film by our film-maker Eleanor Flaherty filmed at the Centre and see what it's all about. We're hoping to see Helyn again soon.
