About Us

The Friends of Stanley Park and Salisbury Woodland are a group of enthusiastic volunteers who care about two of Blackpool’s most cherished green spaces. We have a number of sub groups who get involved in gardening, wildlife conservation and events.

Our work is to unite both public and private enterprises to help promote and protect the sites. If you are a community spirited person who cares about their environment, and are willing to get involved and help with project planning, event organisation or fund raising.

Please come and join us.
