One of your priorities for the Park is a children’s play area – probably on the old bowling lawn.Who better to ask for inspiration than the children who will use it. Cromer Junior School have worked really hard and have come up with some really great ideas.
Lots of colourful drawings and some superb models.

AGM | 23 March 2016 | Agenda
Thanks to the 364 people who gave feedback on the ideas proposed; added to the 750 responses given to the first survey over 1100 opinions have been expressed about the Park, showing the Park remains a key focus for the community.
It has become clear that we need to formalise our status as a group so we will are proposing to apply to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation model) which means updating our constitution at the AGM.
To simplify this change we’re adopting as much of our current constitution that we agreed last year, and fitting this ... From the EDP: Cromer’s Friends of North Lodge Park are crossing their fingers that they will be picked to run the café they have revived and made successful.
This week North Norfolk District Council has advertised a tender for running the cafe in North Lodge Park for 12 months from April 1st.
Most budget statements aren’t as dramatic as those produced by the Chancellor, but they still give indications on thinking, intentions and plans. When NNDC published their budget on Friday (for discussion at next week’s cabinet meeting) there were a couple of pointers of interest.

7.30PM WEDNESDAY 17TH OCTOBER, CROMER COMMUNITY HALL, GARDEN STREET
Next year Cromer will celebrate the 90th birthday of North Lodge Park, opened to the public by Cromer Urban District Council in 1929 – the year of ‘Tiptoe Through the Tulips’, Ramsey MacDonald’s second government, and the Wall Street Crash.
To celebrate we are aiming to deliver a new bridge with play elements – a ‘playful connection’– linking the Upper Lawn with the main area of the park, providing a much-needed new connection, improving play facilities, and bringing the park together.
Come and find out more at the Community Hall this Wednesday 17th October at 7.30pm
Developing the ideas which were well received at our March AGM, the landscape architects we are working with, AREA, have focused on the Upper Lawn. They have produced a practical plan for bringing the area into the rest of the Park with play elements - a ‘playful connection’- linking the Upper Lawn with the main area of the Park. This neatly provides a much-needed new bridge, providing play facilities, and brings the park together.
You are invited to join us in the Community Hall on Wednesday 17th October at 7.30pm to see the proposals and discuss the ideas with AREA. All being well with the design and funding, we would aim to implement the proposals next year.
This a major, positive step in what can sometimes feel a slow journey to develop the Park as people in Cromer have requested. We are pleased to have the support of North Norfolk District Council, and are proud of the proposals from AREA.
