Art Enrichment Project
Members of FOJG met in the park in the summer 2010 and we
discussed what we enjoyed in our childhood and what we felt the
community may like added to the park.
From this meeting we formulated several ideas and have put
together a project proposal that we used to carry out a community
consultation in 2010. We recived realy positive feedback and
collate ideas from the community.
The additions we would like to add are:
- Community Mosaic Mural. The mural will be made out
of swimming pool tiles and we are proposing a community group
design and makes the mural.
- Wooden carvings and sculptures. We propose carving th
bridges in the park into native animals and adding a game spinner
instructing children to hop like a rabbit to rabbit bridge
e.t.c. We would also like to add some wooden bugs crawling
out of the beds and flying sculptures as well as a wooden hopping
frog game to a wall of the park.
- Archaeology in the park. We would like to bury a dinosaur
skeleton into the sand in the main sandpit for everyone to
excavate.
- Music and Shade. We would like to add shade canopies over
the small sand pit and in a part of the large sand pit. We
would also like to add a wooden rain maker.
