September 11th 2011 saw yet another fantastic Care to Run event for the Aurora Centre. Almost 250 entrants enjoyed a superb and emotional run/jog/walk round the park. The event has raised thousands of pounds for this great local charity. Great practice for what is proving the years most popular event - the Santa Dash on December 11th.

The first World Hook a Duck Champioships took place in Sandall Park, Doncaster on 21st April 2011 and what an event it turned out to be! Together with an Easter egg hunt the park was just about packed to capacity and extra chocolate eggs had to be purchsed..... 500 of them! The egg hunt was free and a nominal charge for the Hook a Duck raised £200 for the Doncaster Cancer Detection Trust Scanner Appeal. Our thanks go to all who attended and donated their time and money for such a great cause. The event was sponsored by the local Ready Steady Store. Well done everyone - see you at the 2012 Championships.

FoSP were really dissapointed that we had to cancel the Proms in the Park event in June due to rain. However this September event on behalf of the Doncaster Concert Band did soften the blow...... and blow it did! The rain did stay away and the wind actually dropped as the day went on. About 250 visitors made it to the concert and all were rewarded by a great performance. Our thanks to those that supported the event, the Doncaster Concert Band and our event sponsors - Ready Steady Store and Groundwork UK.

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.

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.

Since angling started again in September 2010 it has proved VERY popular and the 'Anglers' and 'Friends' of Sandall Park have forged a brilliant working team for the benefit of the park as a whole. We are therefore proud to show the world what great fishermen we have in the park in this Hall of Fame as nominated by the Anglers of Sandall Park themselves. Well done guys.
