beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.					Today, the Park is owned by Barnstaple Town Council and managed by the Rock Park Trust Management Committee.
					Throughout 2020/21 Rock Park has been
					hired/used by the community for a variety
					ofdifferent activities/events —Barnstaple
					Marathon, the Race for Life, and regular
					events such as Parkrun, fitness classes
					and football matches.
					The Park is home to the war memorial and
					hosted the Act ofRemembrance and
					Children's Remembrance Service in
					November.
					Throughout the Covid pandemic the park
					has provided an important place of refuge
					and relaxation for local residents.
					For the first time in many years, in June,	we
					hosted a fair in the park. This was a great
					success with many local families enjoying
					the rides and the atmosphere.
					Routine maintenance and management	of
					the park has been carried out inhouse
					throughout the year, including play area
					inspection / repairs, minor park furniture
					repairs, tree works, as well as grass cutting
					and pitch maintenance.
					During the year the Trust has:
					~ Resurfaced some ofthe footpaths.
					~ continued the use ofthe football
					pitches by two youth teams.
					~ considered using Green Flag
					criteria for management ofthe park
					and working with the Barnstaple	in
					Bloom group to enter the
					competition in 2023.
