Fakefest 2010 exceeded even the 2009 event (we never thought it could!). A full house will make sure 2011 will see everyone buying their tickets well in advance. Red hot weather and superb bands combined with great fans to create an incredible part atmosphere - best described a cross between Glastonbury and a garden party!!

Doncaster's first Santa Dash went ahead and what a day it was raising thousands of pounds for the Aurora Centre. 400 Santa's and his little helpers completed the 1 mile circuit of the lake to receive a well deserved medal. Our thanks to everyone who took part and raised loads of money. The date for the 2010 event has already been set - see the events page for details.

A survey has shown that one of the biggest reasons that people visit the park is to feed the ducks. There are huge range of ducks and birds and the information boards identify most of them. The Black Swans are the star of the show for us as they are permanently resident and they lend their own image to the FOSP logo.

The second Aurora 5km Care to Run took place on Sunday 6th September 2009. It was a fantastic day and the park looked at its best. In total 30 FOSP volunteers turned out to help steward the event. The winner completed the course in just over 19 minutes! Carolyn Hodgson (YTV) was the guest of honour but Pavaroti, Mr Bean and Cliff Richard managed to put in an appearance! Our thanks to our group photographer Derrick Bewell who managed to capture the emotion of the day nicely.

The summer always brings out the best in the park. Looking at these pictures it is no surprise that Sandall Park is the most visited leisure park in Doncaster.

The Black Swan is the most obvious and well known bird on the lake. They are regulars and breed here each year. The Black Swan is important to FOSP as it forms the groups logo. For the second year we are keeping a pictorial blog of the cygnets growing up and hopefully this year more will survive. 2008 saw just one cygnet survive from the original three and 2009 has seen 4 cygnets climb from the nest - let's see how they get on...............

Nostalgia seems to be a common theme in the park. Everyone remembers the 'boating lake' and the steam train but unfortunately we have no photo's of the train. If you are interested in the nostagic side of the park have a look at the history page or click 'nostagia' in the categories to the right on this page.
