Barry Brookes Memorial – Please Donate

The Friends Group intend to install some form of memorial (perhaps a bench) in the Park as a fitting tribute to Barry.

If you remember Barry, please donate towards the cost via our GoFundMe page.

Barry was the full-time gardener in Worthington Park for several years. He was a very conscientious gardener who took great pride in his work, a custodian of Worthington Park and part of the community.
