The park has been at the centre of the community since it was officially opened in 1926<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAILEY Park is approaching its 100th<\/sup> birthday and Llandaff North residents are crowd-sourcing ideas to mark the centenary next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Friends of Hailey Park (FHP) group held an initial meeting for people to bring their own ideas to the table and so far the plans include a 1920s picnic, to echo the park’s opening in 1926. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNobody can do it on their own,” said Steph Wilkins, FHP committee member and Chair of the Llandaff North Residents Association.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If we can all get involved, that should make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FHP is appealing to various groups who use the park to come up with their own ideas to mark the anniversary and suggested that Llandaff North Rugby, Sports and Social Club could organise matches between current and former players. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the group is also working on a number of projects\u00a0that will remain in the park beyond the centenary. These include a heritage trail and a wildlife and wellbeing trail, which would run through the centre of the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
