The Friends of Bathpool Park are a group of volunteers who act as custodians for one of Kidsgrove’s much-beloved parks. The volunteers consist of local residents from every walk of life and whom all share a vested interest in bringing Bathpool Park back to the people of Kidsgrove and its surrounding district.
Margaret Astle is the chairman of the Friends of Bathpool Park and she has been working quite assiduously with the volunteers. The group has been successful in attracting funding of half a million pounds in the last five years. The group meet on a monthly basis at Kidsgrove’s Victoria Hall and also at Kidsgrove Working Men’s Club.
This once neglected park has been transformed and it’s a pleasure to take a gentle stroll in Bathpool. You can visit the beach, take part in gentle excercise by using the health equipment that is placed throughout the park [this equipment was kindly funded by the NHS trust], you can take part in fishing, rugby, horse riding, skiing, mountain biking, basketball, netball and not forgetting the new children’s play area.
Lighting has been installed, footpaths have been upgraded and there are numerous seating areas and picnics table too.
