PARKMORE – Aziz Dialo, who’s business has been running at the park’s recreation centre for a few years now, said that he was more than happy to lend a helping hand as the park holds a special place in is heart.

The power of community proved to be fruitful after local resident Aziz Dialo recently came to the rescue at the Field and Study Park.

Dialo, who is the owner of the English Access language school based out of the recreation centre at the park in Parkmore, recently answered a call by the Friends of Field and Study, who manages the park, to bring colour back to the dinosaur jungle gym in the park.

According to Rose Johnson of Friends of Field and Study, she came to the park one day to find that the dinosaur and many other structures at the park had been repainted a dreary dark green by the council.

“The dinosaur is Field and Study Park’s main attraction for the children with his bright happy colours. One youngster came up and asked me ‘why is the dinosaur looking so sad?’”

Dialo, who’s business has been running at the park’s recreation centre for a few years now, said that he was more than happy to lend a helping hand as the park holds a special place in his heart.

The learners who attend the language school also enjoy the park during their break times.

“The park is our duty, without the park we are nothing so I had to step up and help Rose and the Friends of Field and Study,” said Dialo.
