General update
The Easter Trail/Community Day was a cracking success held during the Easter holidays, with over 230 people taking part in the trail. White Cliffs Countryside Partnership and the Community Van and a range of partners also came along on the day, and there were a number of egg-cellent fun activities, including crafts in the Billiards Room.
The café continues to be busy offering its popular homemade treats to eat in, as well as a range of items to take away.
The main car park in Kearsney Parks is now open summer hours from 7am until 9pm and is locked overnight. There are additional disabled parking spaces in the parking area alongside the café - which has staff/disabled spaces and is open from 8am-5.30pm.

Wildlife
It is a busy time of the year in the park for the wildlife, and nesting season is well under way.
There are at least two pairs of swans nesting in the parks and swans can get protective of their nests/mates.
Please remember that even though dogs are allowed off the lead in some areas of the parks, they must always be under control and kept away from the breeding birds.
Volunteering at Kearsney Parks
Volunteer tasks continue in the parks on a weekly basis. We continue to carry out general maintenance in all three parks, including working on the grand border and orchard in Russell Gardens. If you are interested in volunteering, and would like to be put on our database, please get in touch at kearsney.parks@dover.gov.uk
Photography
There are always great opportunities for taking photos in the parks, be it with a camera or on your phone. We are always happy to receive photos taken in the parks, so please feel free to send any photos in and we will try to use them in our publications, including the Kearsney Parks Calendar, and on our social media.
