Our Projects
Friends of Romiley Park have helped to make a number of improvements within the park. Take a look at our list of projects below and see if you can remember what the park used to look like.
Wildflower Meadow
On-going Project 2021 - Wildflower Meadow
Childrens Play Area
In the Spring of 2009, the Friends Group successfully obtained a £25,000 grant from The Big Lottery, along with £1,000 from AkzoNobel and Commuted Funds via Stockport MBC. These monies have enabled us to remove some of the 1970’s play equipment in the children’s play area and replace them with up to date items.
Gym Equipment
In 2014, the Friends of Romiley Park were successful in a joint grant application with Friends of Tangshutt to Veolia Environmental Trust for a total of 6 pieces of outdoor gym equipment between the two open spaces.
Park Benches
So far we have added two new benches to the park. One is a circular bench around a tree in memory of one of our volunteers, which was paid for by his family. The other is a picnic bench funded by a successful grant application to the Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund.
Entrance archway and railings
Our entrance archway and railings project has transformed the appearance of Romiley Park. First we created the fabulous arch featuring the name of the park and later we were able to replace all the railings that were removed during WW2.
