@PontysRich Gosh that looks like high-summer earth! May!! Eek!

While this account is still on hiatus as the group is not meeting due to covid, we’re sharing this post from our facebook page explaining why the Rhododendron bushes need to be removed in the park. Thanks for understanding, and happy new year!

Thanks for keeping our park safe, guys:)

@owenpercy you might try fielding a complaint to ParksCountryside@rctcbc.gov.uk, we're unable to find a Ponty park speciffic email address. - good luck.

@owenpercy I’m sorry this happened Owen, Please be advised this twitter account is for the community volunteer group at the park, and nothing to do with the official staff management.

Lovely walk from Abercynon to Edwardsville on the Taff Trail. Beautiful weather and lots of friendly smiling walkers/cyclists out! Met our nephew/great nephew on the trail and finished in classic fashion with sandwiches and a flask of tea in Ynysangharad Park 😊😊😊@FriendsOfYWMP

Something wicked this way comes..! we should have a mural in the park ! 🤔 #Pontypridd

@PontysRich @FOEPontypridd Brilliant! XD

@DaveTheBear3 @PontysRich Wonderful!! :)

Potato wedges tomorrow for dinner , gifted by our lovely neighbour's . Grown right under our ignorant eyes on the side of the road by @PontysRich #growpontypridd @FriendsOfYWMP #wildflowers Apples also donated by Hayley but they are already under a nice crumble topping !

The play area at Dare Valley Country Park has been upgraded and will be open for families and children to enjoy from tomorrow (August 15). This has been made possible thanks to @LoveTheValleys funding #ValleysRegionalPark. Read more here: orlo.uk/dare_valley_NL…

@Mary_J73 @YourPontypridd @RCTCouncil @AndrewMorganRCT Great stuff! Will have to go check it out :)

Oooh nice! Our new bridge to the park is open! ^_^

@PontysRich @LittleloungeB @Pontypriddfood Totally agree, gardening, especially in a community group, has so many benefits for the individual and of course for the community itself. Being involved in the care of a space also gives the community a sense of ownership that translates into them caring for that space.

Leader’s Update: Cllr Andrew Morgan, Leader of RCT Council, gives an update on the re-opening of Council services - including indoor leisure and three more library facilities - along with progress on infrastructure repairs following flooding, Dare Valley Country Park & Lido Ponty

@Mary_J73 @RCTCouncil @Pollen8Cymru So lovely!

How frustrating for everyone and it only opened on Monday for the first time since the floods @FriendsOfYWMP

Vandals try to set fire to some play facilities overnight in Pontypridd’s Ynysangharad park. Now partly closed days after opening. @RCTCouncil workers trying to repair the damage @BBCWalesNews

@Mary_J73 @RCTCouncil So i’ve checked w/the other group members & as far as we know it’s still 10am, & there’s been no mention of changing that as of yet, but perhaps @RCTCouncil would kindly confirm? :) thanks! -Kat.

@Mary_J73 @RCTCouncil Hi Mary! i will endeavour to find out & get back to you :) - Kat.
