  • Help is always wanted and everyone is welcome (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult though).

Forget weight machines, treadmills and exercise bikes. If you want to keep fit, head for Hailey Park one Sunday afternoon. Its free and keeps you fit with a purpose.

One day it might be cutting back scrub that invades the park with a vengance every year (to reveal a wonderful flower meadow) and on another, we might be sprucing up the benches for all to see.

Whatever it is, its also fun to do. You don’t need to commit yourself to lengthy gym subscriptions or turn up every time – why not just go along for an hour or so every so often.

We’ll also ply you with free refreshments to keep you going, bad jokes from Gareth the Ranger, and you might even learn a thing or two about the biodiversity of the park.
Improve your health and your local environment at the same time – if you do one thing to help the environment this year then do it for Hailey Park!

Sometimes we also pull up sycamore saplings as there are hundreds of them in the woodland and we need to let more light reach the floor so more plants like hawthorn can come up.

Help is always wanted – its a great way to get fit (always working at your own pace) and improve the local environment at the same time. We meet in car park (top of Radyr Rd) You need to wear suitable clothing and sturdy footwear.

During the autumn, winter and early spring we do lots of scrub clearing. This is such an important task and something we that we always need lots of voluntary help for. By clearing invasive plants like the willow and hard cutting back of the buddleia more plants will grow thus increasing biodiversity - and its not just more plants but more insects like butterflies or bees.
Tools and refreshments are provided (free). Everyone is welcome (children need to be accompanied by an adult) – we don't bite!
Our regular volunteer days are one Sunday afternoon a month – keep an eye out though on notice boards or this website for dates and times of these and some of the other ad hoc voluntary work events led by us or other groups on the park.
