Burnley Park
This year’s works ranged from refreshing small garden pockets to full garden bed rejuvenations, helping maintain the high standard of our much‑loved open spaces.
These new plantings will boost local biodiversity, improve habitat for urban wildlife, and ensure our parks remain vibrant, resilient and welcoming for the community throughout the year.
