Memorial Park Fleetwood

About

Memorial Park is a Grade II listed park designed and built in 1925 by renowned town planner Sir Patrick Abercrombie. The park is unique in that the entire grounds were created in commemoration of the First World War, unlike most conventional architectural memorials, and it is one of only a few listed war memorial parks and gardens in the country. Wyre Council has been awarded a grant of £2.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the Grade II listed park and create a five year programme of events and activities to celebrate its heritage and the unique history of the town. The park remains open while work is underway and the restoration is due for completion in spring 2015.
