Welcome to the Friends of Congleton Park website. This beautiful park in the market town of Congleton in Cheshire, is bordered by the River Dane and Park wood. The Friends of Congleton Park are a voluntary community group established to work in Partnership with Cheshire East Council to help develop and look after the park. Congleton Park covers an area of 10 hectares (24.7 acres) and includes the historic Town Wood. Designed by Edward Kemp, an emphasis was placed upon creating river views, a formal promenade flanked by rugged rocks topped with ornamental shrubs and formal avenues of Chestnut and Lime. The park was opened to the public on the 29 May 1871. A full restoration of the park was undertaken during 2004/05 with funding from many sources including the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cheshire East Council ( formerley Congleton Borough Council), Congleton Town Council, the Millennium Committee, local trusts and many others. The park restoration could not have occured without the support of all and we continue to thank everyone for their continued hard work.
