Intro
The Friends Group was formed in 2008 to:
- Improve the sporting & leisure facilities
- Promote community usage & ownership
- Raise funds for community park projects
- Work with the local council to improve existing amenities
Who we are...
The Friends of Springfield Park are members of the community who are determined to preserve, develop and enhance the current amenities. We are committed to appreciating the past, working in the present and leaving a heritage for the future.
Vision Plan...
The friends group have put together a "Future Vision Plan" for the park. This plan can only move forward once the proposed 'Golf Driving Range' ( a joint venture between Link4Life and Rochdale Council) has been sited in a more appropriate venue somewhere else within the borough.
The Friends Group are not opposed to a Golf Driving Range, providing it does not replace football and cricket pitches, or any other facilities within the park, currently available for the whole community.
