Recently refurbished and redone beautifully, Rothbury Community Centre and Park is a space for everyone and welcomes you! The perfect place for family fun or a dog walk.

The Community centre hosts many clubs and groups. A couple of weeks ago, I attended a youth group there and was amazed at how different the inside of the hall was! It’s been redecorated and looks beautiful! The Youth Matters Youth Group is every Friday evening and was a great space for young people to socialise in a safe place.

I was also among a group of kids two years ago consulted on what I wanted to see in the new park. We were listened to and loved being part of the creation of it. Before it was redone, the park was plain grass, with no trees and barely any play equipment. Now, there are lots of trees, paths through the grass, picnic benches and lots of new play equipment! Some of the cherry trees and an apple tree were about to blossom. I can’t wait to see their colours light up the park, bringing colour and nature to it.
