We are a group of volunteers which was set up in 2011 to look after the countryside park. Although the land the park is situated in is owned by the Rhondda Cynon Taff Council, they maintain it within their limited resources. Our volunteers maintain the park assisted on occasion by various groups. Rhondda Cynon Taff Council: They look after the bigger maintenance & repairs of the park, we work closely with them to preserve & improve the area where possible. Cwmclydach Primary School and Rhondda College: Both groups have assisted us in litter picking around the park in the past, and we try and use these days to educate the pupils about the park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
