Have you noticed our new park signs yet? 👀🌳

You’ll now find brand new maps at the entrances to both the Main Park and the Top Park. Our old signs were looking a little tired, so these fresh new ones will help visitors, both new and returning, find their way around the parks more easily.

The Friends of Bold Venture Park are continuing to work hard to improve our beloved park for everyone in the community to enjoy 💚

A huge thank you to Darwen Town Council for providing grant funding, and to our Bold Venture Friend Sally Dillon for personally designing the maps and arranging their installation 🙌

And while you’re there… have you completed the Huntington Heritage Trail yet? 🥾🗺️

Check out the new maps to find all the trail locations and interesting park features

🌟 WONDERFUL NEWS FOR BOLD VENTURE PARK 🌟

Hi everyone! I am absolutely delighted to share some fantastic news with you all.

We have been working closely with the council to secure funding for the Park from the Destination Darwen fund, and I can now confirm that we have secured a substantial amount of investment! The board has been incredibly supportive of the action plan and the priorities we submitted in our bid.

We will share more specific details as the project progresses, but you can look forward to seeing substantial works in the park, including:

🌱Extensive path improvements and pond desilting
🌱New woodland play features
🌱New bins and seating areas
🌱Fresh planting
🌱Restoration works and more…..

I am also very happy to share that, after much lobbying by our group, the funding includes CCTV to help deter antisocial behavior near the playground.

We look forward to updating you all as the plans progress. If you’d like to know more about how you can get involved with our volunteer group, please don’t hesitate to message me!

Jen and all the Friends of BVP volunteers 🌳✨
