Opening the tower

We are next opening Locke Park Tower on Sunday 3rd March from 2pm until 4pm. Hopefully the weather will be kind and afford good views.

You can walk to Locke Park Tower from the car park (S70 6NE) or the café. [What 3 Words: Car Park –remit.silent.hills; Café –roses.melon.saving]

Follow the paths to the highest point in the park to get to the tower.

Donations are appreciated to help improving the park; the much admired murals and fairy garden, near the bowling greens, were funded from your donations.

*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.

Locke Park Tower NOT open 7 May

There’s a lot on this Coronation weekend and we are unable to open the Tower in Locke Park. Most of our volunteers are either away or busy elsewhere. Hopefully we will open the tower on the first Sunday of June.

Locke Park Tower open again on Sunday 2nd April

We’re opening Locke Park Tower on Sunday 2nd April from 2pm until probably 4pm, depending on the weather.

Come along, go up the tower and see the views.

New Year’s Day, 2023

We wish everyone all the best for 2023. Although we normally open Locke Park Tower on the first Sunday of the month, this Sunday is New Year’s Day and we’re giving it a miss.

We intend opening the tower on Sunday February 5th, weather permitting — and we hope for good views then.
