Over 40 people have helped look after our beautiful inner-city Burley Park through 2024, and volunteers from the Friends group will be busy in 2025 with a series of events to mark 125 years of the park.
The Friends currently have a Crowdfunder running to buy:
- Five simple notice boards for event posters one for each entrance.
- Updating the Park map and using this for…
- An entrance sign at the Park View Road (Railway end) where there isn’t one.
Thanks to a pledge of £1,169 from Love Leeds Parks and donations from 16 people The Friends have now reached £1,769 towards the original target of £1,750.
A spokesperson said: “We would love to be able to have another entrance sign at the Cardigan Lane end of Park View Road by the Rose Garden, signs were never put in on Park View Road when the other four went up 15 years ago.”
They are asking people to help them reach £2,000 by 3 January 2025, when the Crowdfunder expires
If you could spare £5 (less than the price of a cup of coffee and a bun), go to the Help More People Enjoy Burley Park Leeds appeal.
The Friends can be contacted on burleyparkfriends@gmail.com.
