This park covers an area of old brine workings. St Richard the
patron saint of Droitwich is remembered here with a statue in his
honour. The park is just the other side of the Saltway road from
the town’s shopping centre and provides a pleasant green corridor
along the canal and River Salwarpe.
New for 2011 - New Play Area opened in March
2011 designed to a natural play theme with wooden equipment.
BIG NEWS - The canal opened on Friday 1st July
by Caroline Spelman (Secretary of State for the Department of
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) after many years of
restoration work. Come and enjoy the sight of narrow boats as they
negotiate the canal and locks in the park.
