Children’s Play Area
Situated by the Cricket Pavilion, is a well-equipped children’s play area for the under-fives. It’s a great place to amuse the children for a few hours and to meet other mums and dads. This is for the use of residents only.
Coffee mornings
An invitation is extended to all women on Greatpark to attend the Wednesday coffee morning, held in the Pavilion from 11.00am until 12.30pm. This is an ideal opportunity to meet friends and neighbours for a relaxed and informal chat. The group enjoys outings and meals out together, as well as celebrating special birthdays. Greatpark has also joined in the Macmillan ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ to raise money for charity. Newcomers to Greatpark are especially welcome and you don’t have to attend every week; you can just come along when your diary permits and you can be sure of a warm welcome.
Social events
During the year, a variety of social events are held at the Pavilion to give residents the opportunity to meet up and socialise. These events are also an opportunity to meet members of GPMC board in a relaxed and informal setting, and raise anything that might be concerning you. Future events can be found under the News section of the web site
Tennis Courts
Two tennis courts are situated near the Pavilion. For the use of residents, the courts are accessible by entering a password at the gate. We do not have a booking system, so residents play on a first come, first served basis. Players are asked to wear the appropriate footwear. Please note no ball games other than tennis, and dogs are not allowed onto the courts. The passcode for the gate lock is in the residents’ area of the website, under Resident Obligations.
Yoga
Yoga sessions are held in the Pavilion every Thursday, starting at 9.30am until 11am. Run by Annabel Broom, the hatha yoga sessions are for mixed ability and are friendly and non-competitive. Sessions can be booked on a term basis, at £45.00 for six consecutive sessions, or you can just turn up on the day and pay £9.00.
