Helpers decorating the Christmas Tree in the Park on Saturday 22 November 2014.

Both play areas have now re-opened. However, the slide is temporarily closed and awaiting repair.

BBC Children in Need Sponsored Walk in the Park by pre-school children on Friday 14 November 2014. Thanks to Emma Houston and the other organisers and, of course, the children.

The work on both the play areas will be complete once the specialist contractor has installed the special rubberized safety surfaces around the various items of play equipment. Subject to weather, completion date of the work is estimated to be 14 November 2014.

After the bulb planting session on 25 October, members of the Friends Group watched as Barry Brookes (Trafford Council gardener in the Park) raised the Green Flag that the Park was again awarded for 2014/15.

On the morning of Saturday 25 October 2014 members of the Friends Group planted out a selection of bulbs in the triangular bed near the Cheltenham Drive entrance to the Park. Many thanks also to Trafford Council staff Dave Rome and Barry Brookes for their help.

Two years ago there was a 2013 calendar which featured the dogs that walk in Worthington Park. This year a similar calendar is being produced to raise funds for the Friends of Worthington Park.
If you’d like your dog to be in this 2015 calendar I’ll be out in the park (in the wildflower garden near the playgrounds) with cameras on Tuesday 28th October and Saturday 1st November from 10.15am – 11.15am and from 10.15am -11.15am but if you can’t be there at those times and want your dog to be in the calendar please contact me at jacquie.wilson@icloud.com and I’ll do my best organise to meet up with you to take some pictures.
For £15 you’ll get an A4 wall calendar with 12 colour pages which we aim to have available late November/early December. Additional calendars will be available at a cost of £12.00.
