Something new to see in Locke Park

Have you seen them yet?

Taylormade Signs & Banners have put three (yes three!) interpretation boards in Locke Park: for the Tower, Bandstand and Joseph Locke Statue.
Have you seen them? All three?

It’s great to see people having a look at the information with old images of these reminders of our heritage. And to hear how much they are appreciated.

Thanks to Barnsley Round Table and Kingstone Ward Alliance who, together with ourselves, Friends of Locke Park, funded them. And to Taylormade Signs for producing them.
There are more to come too!

Locke Park Tower NOT open Sunday 6 July due to rain

Due to the wet weather we have decided not to open the tower today!
Band concert next Sunday and tower open again on first Sunday of August.

We are next opening Locke Park Tower on Sunday 6th July from 2pm until 4pm*. Hopefully the weather will be kind and give us good views. And we need enough volunteers! If you would like to help, do get in touch.

You can walk to Locke Park Tower from the car park (S70 6NE) or the café. Follow the paths to the highest point in the park to get to the tower. [The What 3 Words location for the Car Park is remit.silent.hills and for the Café is roses.melon.saving]

Donations are appreciated to help improving the park especially by providing plants and bringing bands to the bandstands.

*We try to open the tower each first Sunday of the month. It depends on both the weather and whether we have enough volunteers. Check online using our Facebook page.
