In 2016 the Holm Oak (locally known as Old Homer) won the Woodland Trusts tree of the year competition.
After many decades of being an excellent climbing tree for local children Old Homer began to show some signs of wear and tear and developed a prominent lean.
Rather than have the Holm Oak cut down the local community started a campaign to have Old Homer supported so that he could continue to look over the park.
