Most of our £2m restoration programme was completed in May 2012, though extra improvements including CCTV and bandstand refurbishment will now take place prior to summer 2013. This work is supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund.
The improvements also owe much to the support of the Burslem Park Partnership,
a voluntary
group that
works alongside
the City
Council to
improve the
park.
