With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

People living near a Nottingham park today marked their efforts

:00:15.:00:16.

to restore it and save it from development.

:00:17.:00:19.

Those behind Onchan Park in Carlton vowed not to let it fall

:00:20.:00:22.

back into disrepair, particularly after vandals

:00:23.:00:25.

targeted it again ahead of today's celebrations.

:00:26.:00:28.

Give them all a massive round of applause for all

:00:29.:00:34.

A mural showing the best of Onchan Park, that is

:00:35.:00:39.

Over the past year, the park's future seemed

:00:40.:00:42.

under threat as the local council considered whether to sell

:00:43.:00:45.

part of it off for a housing development.

:00:46.:00:51.

Residents helped to save it, but recently they have faced

:00:52.:00:53.

a new threat as vandals damaged the roof and smashed

:00:54.:00:56.

The message to them, however, is one of unity.

:00:57.:01:00.

We are doing it for the children of all ages.

:01:01.:01:08.

The people here today celebrating St George's Day

:01:09.:01:14.

along with the revival of the park were also united in their love

:01:15.:01:17.

Even though it is little, all the children like it.

:01:18.:01:22.

It is the perfect place for making memories.

:01:23.:01:24.

It is nice to have something that out-of-school you can still keep

:01:25.:01:27.

It is really special to you, isn't it?

:01:28.:01:32.

Her first trip ever out when she was a baby

:01:33.:01:34.

My favourite thing about the park is the swings.

:01:35.:01:39.

Amongst the celebrations, hopeful for what it could be

:01:40.:01:42.

It is just fantastic, it's amazing, and it's the beginning for us.

:01:43.:01:48.

We're looking forward to generally upgrading the facilities here.
