Our history

Where did we come from?

After living around, travelling through and observing the life that happens in and around Heavitree park, three local families saw a need for people to have a place they could go to eat, drink and meet together. A place that could bring people from all walks of life together, a place that could help facilitate local change and be in touch with what people need. Hopefully, a place that could one day, be the heart of the community. As we have talked about the idea, other local people have got on board with us and have helped make this idea become more of a reality. Our journey has evolved over many years and the vision of building a cafe and hub was introduced a decade ago!

Since 2010 we have been putting on various community events centred around the park. In this time we have received a great deal of support locally for our ideas. This has led to us forming various groups to try and help local people as well as progress towards making the community facility a reality.

Park Life Setup:

Our structure is constantly evolving as more people get on board and as we hear more about local need and have ideas to help people to get together.
