Spring is on the way but there’s been a mix of heavy rain, sunshine and low temperatures which have affected the usual activities. The Saturday parkrun and Sunday morning junior parkrun have continued whenever possible and the tennis courts remain open. Wakefield School of Tennis have restarted the free junior coaching for 8-13 year olds in the tennis courts in Thornes Park every Saturday afternoon 13.45-14.30 (https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/ThornesPark/Coaching/Junior). The Friends volunteers continue to tend the Secret Garden and the Aviary is always a pleasure to visit. On Sunday afternoons the miniature railway runs in Thornes Park by the children’s playground, weather permitting. There’s always plenty to do in the Park, whether you’re going for a stroll or being more energetic!
