Very Young Friends of West Bank Park

Who are the VYFWBP?

We are a friendly community group, run by parents, who meet every Thursday morning in West Bank Park, York. Whatever the weather, school hols included, we spend a couple of hours in the woods and meadows of the Park, doing nature games and crafts, building or making things with materials we find, telling stories and singing songs.

We are open to all - with a contribution of £1 a family (to cover basic equipment) - so if you want to join us, see you on Thursday at 10am at the statue of Queen Victoria, at the top of the Rose Walk. (Bring something simple to share at snack time.)

The sun shone, the eggs stayed on the spoons and everyone had a lovely time in our beautiful park at the Young Friends annual Summer Party! Huge thanks - again - to Alex from Parties of Distinction and to all the people who helped put up our newly decorated tent, ran the crafts, brought tasty treats and helped pack everything away afterwards!
This will be my last blog post as Jen is taking over - along with Elly Ross who will be organising the group from now on. Contact Elly westbankparkkids@gmail.com if you would like to get involved with the group, help run a session or even if you simply have some lovely pics you would like to share on this page.

The Community Arts Project is finished!

We've drawn, we've etched in clay, we've hung leaf sculptures in nets, we've looked at the park through coloured polythene, we've written down our memories and drawn rude pictures....and a beautiful mosaic has now been made! It has been officially unveiled and will shortly be appearing on the wall of the office block in the Park. You will see much that you recognise and you may even have been one of the team of all ages who helped make the mosaic itself. Well done and thanks to our patient, creative, hardworking artists Mary Passeri and Colin Widdup!
