Welcome to the Friends of Memorial Park Great Harwood website. We invite you to browse the site and the wealth of information contained within (or even come along to one of our meetings)

We are a group of residents/volunteers who have a desire to maintain and upgrade our local park.  We have over100 members, fully constituted and enjoy an active committee.  We hold 3 public meeting a year.in the Lancashire town of Great Harwood.

We designed and maintain this web site which is basically split into 3 sections.  Use the "Berger Menu" or "Drop Down Menu" to navigate the site
