Launch of the first Sandwell Park Leaflet
There is soon to be the first full leaflet of access routes in the Sandwell Park.
The leaflet will contain a map of the scenic walking routes and Sandwell Valley Trails Group is going to officially launch the publication on the Thursday18th June 2009. Its aim is to get people walking in the beautiful park and enjoying the ‘green’ walks.
The Sandwell Valley Trails leaflet will be the “first ever comprehensive leaflet showing access routes across the Country Park.”
The event which will take place on Thursday 18th June 2009, between 2:30pm and 4:30 pm, will be officially opened by local celebrity and runner, Blind Dave Heeley.
The free leaflet has been partly funded by the Primary Care Trust, with its aim to get people to be ‘green’ and get people up and walking and enjoying what the park has to offer.
The brand new publication contains an official map of the Sandwell Valley Park Farm and provides visitors with the opportunity to visit the park, being guided by an official map, without the worry of getting lost.
John Blyth organised the leaflets and commented: “In total 10, 000 leaflets have been published, 3,000 in Birmingham and 7,000 in Sandwell, the leaflets are completely free of charge. The aim of the leaflet is to show what Sandwell Park has to offer, that it can be used by different user groups like walkers, cyclists, or for people to ride their horse”.
The leaflets are available from the Forge Mill Farm, the Park Farm and The Public, all in West Bromwich.
