Pishiobury Park - 27 July
At Pishiobury, visitors got to have a special meet-up with the Longhorn Cattle that graze the park and learn more about them. The Friends of Pishiobury Park had creative treats like crafting dream catchers to entertain the little ones together with bug hunts and helping them identify the critters they found.
Speaking about the events, East Herts Council Chairman, Martin Butcher said:
“It was wonderful to join residents at these family events this week and see the joy on children’s faces as they ran around enjoying the nature and creative activities – getting them outside in the fresh air and providing a platform for some much-needed family time.
“Our Love Parks Week events are always a hit with locals but it was lovely to see a great turnout even though the weather wasn’t ideal. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year!”
