Our FoWP Annual General Meeting will be held at 8.00pm  on Monday, 7 April 2025 at Westminster Park Community Centre,   Five Ashes Road, Chester CH4 7QS

Thanks to our volunteers for hosting a stall at the WP Fun Day.  The Lord Mayor visited and the children had a brilliant time…..

We are pleased to see new signage at the Lache Lane and Cliveden Road entrances.

Also look at the wildlife – Cinabar moth caterpillar and gatekeeper butterfly.

 Ken Brown officially opened the  new mini golf. The Town Crier, Lord Mayor and local Councillors, FoWP volunteerswere all invited.

Giant Hogweed has been found by the irrigation pond and beside trees on the Golf Course. It has been treated and will be monitored.

The tree was planted in memory of Scott at the request of Margaret Butterfield who works at the Co-op.  Scott died of a brain tumour and left behind his wife and two young children.  Scott and his family were regular walkers in Westminster Park and it is hoped the memorial tree will bring back memories of happier times.

The Friends of Westminster Park Annual General Meeting is being held at 8.00pm on Wednesday 25th January 2023 at Westminster Park Community Centre, Five Ashes Road, Chester CH4 7QS.  We hope you will be able to attend.
