Rocket Park

Rocket Park is located near the centre of the Stonebridge Park Estate, and provides a focus for the whole community. The central area with its play equipment is at the bottom of a depression. At a public meeting held on 20^th April this year we were told that work will begin in June to fill in the central area, and level the green. Then incorporate new play equipment, some of which may be like an outside gym with lifting weights etc. Many of the trees will be retained. It has been proposed that a memorial plaque will be put on Rocket Park in remembrance of Mrs Maureen Graham, the former Chair lady of Stonebridge Park Tenants & Residents Association, and her husband George. The work will be completed in the Autumn of 2011.

Rocket Park from above taken in 2007, the two blocks of flats at bottom left have since been demolished. The Pym Walk footpath runs along the bottom of the photograph.
