A GROUP planning a huge play park in Constantine are urging the public to help them secure additional funding.
JuMP, a project to regenerate the recreation ground, is in the running for a Community South West Award.
This is a campaign run by insurer Cornish Mutual aimed at celebrating and encouraging community spirit with one in each area - Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset - winning £1,500.
JuMP is currently leading the vote, which closes on Friday. To register your vote visit www.communitysouthwest.co.uk
Clare Davison, vice chairman said: "We are leading, but have a long way to go, so please vote for us."
The group is run by parents and is an advisory group to the parish council and have so far raised more than £1,700 through grants and local events.
Other grants have also been applied for.
The play area will cater for all ages, from babies to grandparents and are trying to involve as many people as possible in the project.
DaraMontag, chairman, said: "We will be involving the community in design using workshops for all ages starting in July, which will give us an idea of what children want."
A drinks and canapés evening is taking place in the Tolmen Centre next Saturday (April 20) for anyone interested in getting involved.
It will run from 7.30pm until 9.30pm and is an informal evening to discuss progress so far and the long term plan.
Anyone who wishes to attend, to help the team with catering, please RSVP to racj.gardner@yahoo.co.uk.
