Friends of Scholes Park are celebrating the installation of the latest improvement to Scholes Park in Gatley, a new children’s trim trail in the play area. This is the result of two years of fund raising. The Friends group would like to thank the supporters of their just giving page, the SPRING group, the Dudley fund, Arnold Clark, Autotrader, the Brookfield Park Shires Family Trust, Tesco, Stockport Council and Goldthorpe family for their contribution. From large funding bids, to children fund raising by making time capsules to sell during the covid lock down, it has been a real community effort. It is hoped children of all ages will enjoy playing on the equipment for many years to come. An official opening ceremony is to be held on Sunday 30^th October at 11am where the trim trail and the recently installed art installation will be opened by Stockport Councillors and local artist Eamonn Murphy who have supported these projects. Friends of Scholes park are a community group who aim to increase the use and enjoyment of the park by the local community to improve people’s health and wellbeing, improve the habitat value of the park and to address anti-social behaviour. This is through improving the facilities and the park, and holding events. If you would like to be involved please contact them at hello@friendsofscholespark.org.uk.
