CORPORATION PARK
BLACKBURN LANCASHIRE
SUPPORTERS GROUP
The Supporters Group of Corporation Park
have been working together enthusiastically for the last 14 years and currently over 80 people form part of the group.
This conscientious & happy group of people work together helping to protect and improve the quality of the park and its environment for the benefit of the whole community.
The group currently consists of Blackburn with Darwen parks employees, volunteers,
local residents & councilors.
However, the Corporation Park Supporters Group is open to all and is free to join.
Friday 27 August 2010 The Supporters Group have been working tirelessly to have a new bowling & community pavilion built as the previous one had burnt down 7 years ago. The new club has been officially opened and around 50 people attended the grand opening which was a huge success. The bowlers then went on to compete in The Sid Smith Challenge Cup competition. It was beautiful day and everyone had a wonderful time. Burnley Rd and Queens Park ladies bowling groups are now going to join the Corporation Park Bowling Club.
