A new path for park users to reach currently inaccessible benches with direct views over the tranqil Millers Pond.
A new path needs to be marked out, cut, dug, then filled with coarse ballast and topped with a fine ballast to enable walking access to two little used benches. The benches are in a perfect spot for beautiful views over the pond and thereby watching the many waterfowl that frequent this beautiful ornamental park.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The location of the two benches is on a an area that gets quite waterlogged and thereby not very accessible. The path will make the benches accessible to all and provide a lovely spot to watch the various waterfowl using the pond. Millers Pond is a beautiful and tranquil park in the centre of Shirley which is loved by all local residents. We want to keep it like this!
Steps to get it done:
The project will increase the enjoyment gained by visitors allowing them to sit and reflect on this peaceful oasis in the heart of Shirley

VolunteerI am the chairman of Friends of Millers Pond, a small group of local residents formed in 1998, who tend and care for Millers Pond in Shirley, Croydon for the benefit and enjoyment of local people. See our web page at http://Friendsofmillerspond.co.uk to see some of the work we have completed. I find it a constant battle to get anything new for the park but am now chasing my latest idea which is quite a simple one and involves a new path to access and maintain two benches which overlook the pond from a grassed area.
