Improving Locke Park
-
Friends of Locke Park are working with Barnsley Council Parks on a bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for improvements to Locke Park.
This will be the first part of a longer term plan to preserve Locke Park’s heritage, improve its environment and facilities, and make it an even better place to visit.
We need your help: we want to know what you think about Locke Park whether you are a regular visitor or have never been there before -

The Friends of Locke Park Christmas event in Locke Park was an event for all the family; a real community event with carols; planting pots with spring bulbs and putting together bird boxes to take home; tombola and raffle; a couple of activity stalls; enjoying mince pies, stolen and mulled wine. The kids also enjoyed the opportunity to meet Father Christmas. And this year Barnsley Hospice’s Santa Dash took place. Thanks to everyone who took part and helped.
