Friends of 

Bucknall Park

Bucknall Park is a public park (Stoke-on-Trent City Council park), which sits alongside the River Trent. It contains a children playarea (with swings, climbing structures etc.), light workout training area, tennis courts, various sized greens, and a lovely small woodland path.  There are a number of park benches dotted around the area.


This current "Friends of Bucknall Park" community group was formerly established back in May, 2013. 

We are a dedicated group who meet 6-8 months of the year to discuss and plan future events/projects.


Our aim and aspiration is to encourage visitors back into the park, and raise funds to provide a new play area for young people, a sensory garden to compliment the meadow field, as well as making use of abandoned buildings situated within the park.


Even though we are a small park group, we all feel we are part of a very large community, supporting the local areas of Bucknall, Townsend, Abbey Hulton, as well as our visitors from outside the area.


We are always looking for volunteers to help at events and actively encourage anyone in becoming a Friend.


City Farm, opened since 2024, can be accessed via Bucknall Park, Check out their website here.
