Paradise Park Pavilion

On Wednesday we had the grand opening of the stage, the Mayor of Islington cut the ribbon and it is now only up to the children how they want to use it. Again, this would not have been possible without all your support, we are incredibly proud that every penny raised have gone to the materials for the stage. Building it has been a long winded volunteering exercise but we finally got there and we think it is a truly enjoyable little structure. THANK YOU!

We're ALMOST there guys. Patrick has been going full steam ahead on site, aided my Sarah's son Zack. I came down last week and we finished the ropes, so after a new delivery has arrived we will complete. It is V E R Y likely to happen next week!

As you can see we only need another layer of timber slats, and then we will start with the ropes. Will keep you posted!

We had a great day at the nursery on Saturday, a lot of parents and staff showed up, some with amazing building skills and some with amazing tea making skills - we got a lot done and are gearing up for the final touches. a big THANK YOU to everyone that spent their Saturday volunteering.

The nursery are arranging two further volunteering sessions in order to finish the base and the roof - Wednesday October 19th and Saturday November 19th. Please mark those dates in your diaries and I will update you on timings.

Dear backers - it is happening! The nursery have arranged several volunteer days over the summer, digging the holes for the main posts was time consuming and tiring but the "superstructure" is now up. More volunteer days to follow so we can get the base down.

Dear Backers, the children have demolished the existing stage and apparently it was a glorious day of lots of exciting creepy crawlies appearing from underneath the structure. Materials have now arrived to the nursery and we are grateful for this good whether and hope it remains as the construction is now starting. Over the next couple of weeks we have arranged several build days and will update you as much as possible!

Dear all - just a quick note to say that we are finalising drawings, details, safety issues and getting some engineers to double check the structure - nearing the build now, exciting times. Thank you for supporting Paradise Park Pavilion, we are working to start the building process very soon.

We are extremely excited about having reached the fundraising target and are now finalising the deatils of the project. Last week the design team met with the nursery staff, representatives from Islington Play Association and the facilities manager that will take the lead during the construction as well as parents that are volunteering. We discussed buildability, detailing, material use and also including the children in the construction process to make sure they get proper ownership over the pavilion. The final drawings are to be produced over the next couple of weeks - thank you again for your support - we will keep you posted on progress! All the best, Siri
