Parks, play areas and sports facilities - Barrowford Park

Barrowford Park was transferred to Barrowford Parish Council in 2020 but we still maintain it.

Barrowford Park was first awarded a Green Flag in 2008, and has maintained its flag ever since. The park has a bowling green, war memorial and two children's playgrounds, and some outdoor fitness equipment.

In the heart of the park are a lake and a wetland area. The lake was once the original mill pond. The pond is populated with moorhen, ducks and coots. Also at the back of the park is Barrowford Cemetery. A new picnic area has been developed near to the cemetery. The park hosts the annual Barrowford Show.

Memorial Gardens

The Barrowford War Memorial is in the centre of a level area, with plenty of seating which is surrounded and sheltered by bushes and flowers.
