About Us
|
|
| |
The Friends are a group of local people who want to see the park restored to its former glory and help to guide its long term development and maintenance. We are also producing a Social History of the Park which will be displayed in the new pavilion.
The group’s vision for the Park in its Terms of Reference is:
|
| |
“ Dartmouth Park is considered to be the foremost historic urban park in
West Bromwich. SMBC with the FoDP and other local stakeholders will work towards achieving an easily accessible, safe, attractive and welcoming high quality heritage park, which meets the needs of everyone and which contributes to the economic, social and environmental well being of the people now and for future generations. This highly valued park will continue to improve the quality of life in West Bromwich.”
If you would like to join the Friends of Dartmouth Park and help with its regeneration, please contact either Annette Welch or Carol Hartill for more information and a membership form.

We were approached by Derek Hickinbottom who said he had one of the park’s rowing boats in his garden which he had purchased when time was called on the park’s much loved boating facility. He said it was in a poor condition, but if we wanted it, and could get it collected, it was ours. We contacted Matt Darby, Senior Parks and Countryside Ranger, and he arranged for it to be collected. A donation of £100 was given to restore the boat in memory of the late Eric Knott by his wife Jean, as one of her husband's great pleasures was visiting Dartmouth Park and using the boating pool. This money provided the materials and the boat has been prepared and painted in its original colours by Tabra/Nash Limited, local contractors, free of charge, for which we are very grateful. The boat will be displayed in the new pavilion. A big thank you to Derek for giving us the boat, Jean for her donation and Tabra/Nash Limited for their excellent work.
If you have anything relating to the park tucked away do let us know. |
