In 2007 group of local enthuiasts got together and formed a group called Friends of East Boldon Parks. The group was formed when they noticed that Grange Park and Mundles Lane Park were getting into a sorry state and they now have an active committee and nearly 50 memebers. They organise various events in the parks and encourage the Local Authority to renovate them. Money is always a problem and as well as running fund raising events they also work hard to obtain national grants to aid the development of these very important amenities.
In order to qualify for a grant it is necessary to show that there is sufficient local interest so they need your assistance. If you value these parks please register as a "Friend of Boldon Parks" by email at:- FriendsofEBP@aol.com or you can text or call on 07502 125671
There are also other groups whose aims are to support other parks in the area.
