FRIENDS OF WALTON PARK

You may have heard that Friends of Walton Park is raising funds towards a new, exciting and challenging climbing structure in the older children's play area to replace the old wooden one that is nearing the end of its life.

Trafford Council has allocated some funding for a small replacement play structure; however, we are aiming for a larger more exciting piece of equipment to encourage older children to spend more time on active and social outdoor play.

To achieve our aim we need to raise approximately £85,000. We are intending to secure a significant proportion of this from major bids to community fund(s) and Friends of Walton Park will be contributing a significant proportion of our savings as well.

We know that local people are overwhelmingly supportive of the proposals, after we received 950 responses to our community survey, which was open until 31 August 2026. We are delighted with this level of engagement and would like to thank everyone that responded. We will be considering the results and the comments carefully as the project progresses to make sure we achieve the best results for children and families.

To give local residents, businesses and park users the opportunity to help us achieve, or even exceed, our funding target we have set up a GoFundMe page. The more we raise, the better the final result will be so we encourage you to get involved!

The link to the GoFundMe page (where you will also find additional background information) is below:

Best regards Friends of Walton Park (Sale)
