September

Now the weather has cooled the volunteers have begun planting again.

A new rockery, on the side of the steps, has been created and just needs planting. Extra plants have been added to the skate park area in an attempt to reduce w**d growth. The children deserve flowers just as much as adults and the shrubs have been chosen to hopefully absorb pollution from the atmosphere. There are also plans for a second grass bed as this is a year-round attraction.

The volunteers plan to do work in the main flower bed if the rain is not too disruptive in the coming months.

We are lucky that the temperature remains mild and flowers continue to bloom. Please take the opportunity to join the volunteers on Friday mornings or simply enjoy the park.

July.

We have received several donations lately.

The park has accepted a variety of plants and bulbs from Silsden residents. Money has also been donated by Keighley Lions and Silsden Open Gardens. In addition a fun day was enjoyed with the Silsden Playing Fields Bowling club and Silsden Gardening club.

The Friends of Silsden Park appreciate all donations, supportive comments and help.

New information boards have been erected and plans are being considered for the future. Please enjoy the fullness of summer.

Thank you to all the people who were brave enough yesterday to venture out in the sun to our event.
It was hot!!!!
Luckily it didn't prevent people eating cake, drinking tea, trying out bowls and walking around the park .

It's been a special day for the Park and volunteers.

Firstly a big thank you to Sharon Almond who donated some very nice stones which will enable us to create another grass bed to mirror the first and also extend our rockery to the other side of the steps leading up to the bowling green.
Two great projects for the Autumn.

Just when you thought you couldn't get a better day we found out how much we will receive from the proceeds of Silsden Open Gardens.
This will help us to continue to maintain and improve the park in the future.

As a group we are very grateful for this and wish to thank the organisers and everyone who bought a ticket for the event.

Please support this event.It's a great way to pass a day and it helps us to improve the park.

Thanks to Keighley Lions who helped with funding we have sourced and installed these boards around the park to help visitors identify some of the plants and animals that they may come across.
