With support from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, we will be sourcing funding for the park and overseeing its design and construction. Our vision is for a park that compliments its natural surroundings and offers people of all ages a place to meet, play and be active." Steps Through Time Mosaic Pavers 12 mosaic pavers will be incorporated into the Kyneton Community Park space as the first inground community involvement project . Partnered by the Kyneton Historical Society, members of the committee will collect historical memorabilia and record local stories of pleasant times spent in the park environs over the decades, like weddings, holidays and festivals. Here's some memories of local identities Leo Ramsdale and Jack Wilmott. If you have fond memories, please contact us - we'd love to hear from you.   Kyneton Connect article Dec 2010 Read the above article Interesting details, like these - an 1868 purchase order for plants - will become mosaiced features by transferring the images to tiles.    Concept plan  Daffodil Parade - September 2010 The Kyneton Community Park committee walked in this year's Daffodil Parade with the banner Kathryn designed, based upon people creating the words. The team were advertising the exciting upcoming community fundraising event to be held in the park. Mad Hatters Tea Party     Site Chosen - November 2009 The lower half of the Botanical Gardens has been selected as an appropriate site, and partnerships have been created with the Friends of Kyneton Botanic Gardens and the Kyneton Historical Society to ensure a design is adopted that is sensitive to all the user groups, while extending the established gardens experience.  Publicity has been organised to increase the public's awareness of the proposal, including a very fun banner designed by the artist.    Community Consultation - June 2009 Community Consultation meetings were carried out in Kyneton to consider options for the development of a large scale park to be situated centrally at the most favoured site in the township. Kathryn presented a mosaic slideshow as the Community Arts Project Officer of the committee of the Kyneton Community Park.  The available space for the park is quite extensive, with a proposed budget of half a million dollars or more, so much fundraising is planned and the hard working team will set about analysing the legislative requirements, criteria for master plan design assessment and heritage overlays in the short term.  kynetoncommunitypark.org Please feel free to enquire with any questions any time. |
