Dear Members, We are promoting our AGM which will be held on Wednesday 2nd April @ 7:00pm in The Railway. All members are welcome to attend and vote for committee members for the following year. We welcome expressions of interest to stand, from any members via our email [email protected].
We continue to work to our formal Constitution that is recognised as a partnership agreement by Cardiff Council. We have updated our Governance and Administration so that it is more inclusive.
Friends of Hailey Park have had another very busy year with all the different issues arising and we track these at our formal meetings. We liaise and correspond with a wide variety of people and organisations with a stake in Hailey Park.
We maintain regular information and chat on our Facebook page and Website in particular and continue to send our regular newsletter. We are also on Instagram.
Our aims are that Hailey Park remains a shared inclusive Community Park with a focus on the protection and enhancement of nature and biodiversity and on recreation in its widest definition.
We work to maintain a balance of recreation and that all uses of the park maintain a respect for and protection of nature.
We continue to work closely with our longstanding Park Ranger Gareth Stamp from Cardiff Parks department on our monthly volunteer work days. These focus on increasing biodiversity as well as general management of Hailey Park. It's a social space too so please come and join us when you can to help out or for a chat.
We attend The quarterly Friends Forum meetings to share ideas with other park friends groups across the City.
We attend monthly Working group Meetings with Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water and The Ward based Counsellors to track and promote any issues that need resolution.
We recently held a Public Meeting along with Llandaff North Residents Association, so that Community views are properly considered in resolving issues relating to The MUGA (multi use games area).
We have not run any events this past year but are busy planning towards the Centenary of Hailey Park in 2026. Again we are happy to receive interest and support for this from our members.
We have recently secured Funding from Transport for Wales for a Centenary Heritage Trail which should shortly be installed on Hailey Park. We will develop our Website to include further information from both research and from Community memories of using Hailey Park.
We continue to plan and seek funding for a Circular Centenary Wildlife and Wellbeing Trail. Locations on this Trail will highlight the need to increase biodiversity and the way our connection with nature promotes our protection of it as well as our wellbeing. Watch out for further details to enfold.
We are always grateful for the continued support of our Members and we hope that our Community of Park users will enjoy these legacy projects for years to come. In addition we are working through ideas for some celebratory events during 2026.

Chairperson Friends of Hailey Park
