Welcome to the Park

**Important Notice:** Tuesday 27th October 2026

We sincerely apologise for the loss in telecommunications over the past few days. The engineers have finally managed to divert all our calls to a mobile phone temporarily. However, as there is only one device, calls will come through to the main office. Jodie will take your details and arrange for the relevant team member to call you back.

We appreciate that this is frustrating and communication has been difficult over the past few days and for that we apologise but we were at the mercy of the communications providers. We have been informed that the main phone lines should be restored at some point today.

 Once again, we apologise and thank you for your patience and understanding.

@thepark, Bowden Derra Park Limited was founded in 1982 by David Cash and his late wife, Judy. David is a director who is actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the service.

They had a vision to provide a facility for people with a learning disability that was a ‘home for life’. Such was their enthusiasm that over the years the provision has gone from strength to strength and provides accommodation for individuals with many different needs.

Development of @thepark has seen a variety of new and exciting challenges presented. The diversity of what @thepark offers complements its uniqueness and is ‘far from ordinary’.

Currently, @thepark offers commissioned services to individuals with a wide range of needs, including learning disabilities, physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, dementia, sensory impairments, mental health and nursing care.

Along with excellent residential and nursing care, @thepark can provide individualised person-cantered care and support. There is an opportunity to meet every need.

Our inclusive choir here @ThePark brings music, keyword signing, and joy to every performance — from community events to schools and care homes. By combining singing with signing, we celebrate diversity, accessibility, and the power of music to connect people of all ages and abilities.

@thepark, Cornwall, Launceston, Funday, Bank Holiday Monday, Bowden Derra Park, adults with learning disabilities.
