Description
There are 47 acres of Barnsley’s Locke Park only a mile from Barnsley’s town centre, with gardens, trees and open grass areas, an historic tower, a statue of Joseph Locke and a bandstand, bowling greens, games and play areas, and a café. There are public toilets near the café and play area.
Friends of Locke Park are a volunteer group working together to improve the facilities in the Park and to engage with all the community in events and participation. We are involved in a range of projects and activities:
- Gardening (weather dependent)
- Helping at events
- Fundraising for improving the park and conserving its heritage and natural environment
- Guided tours in Locke Park
- Promoting fitness and walking activities
- Bandstand concerts in the summer months.
All groups are welcome.
