Queen's Park, Crewe
Queen's Park is renowned as one of the finest Parks in the
North West if not the whole of England. It is a traditional
Victorian Park currently undergoing renovations to bring her back
to her former glory. Within her 45 acres are walkways, trees,
shrubs, planting, children’s play area, crown green bowling,
putting, boating lake (currently drained for construction works),
grassed areas, memorials and cafeteria. Originally given to the
people of the town by the London and North Western Railway Company,
she is steeped in history with a true Crewe engineering
background.
Despite current
renovations Queen's Park is well worth a visit with Play
programmes and a full programme of Summer Entertainment
for all to enjoy. Refurbishment plans consist of a £6.5
million transformation, which includes support grant funding from
the Heritage Lottery Fund valued at £2.7 million, with the
remaining investment from Cheshire East Council.
