Woodheys Park Latest

Dog owners, take responsibility

A letter appeared in the Sale & Altrincham Messenger this week asking other dog owners to take responsibility for their dogs in and around Woodheys Park.  The park is a safe haven for responsible dog walkers but we would like to name & shame those dog walkers who do not take the necessary responsibility of looking after a dog in a public place.

Who's been sleeping in our park

Lost, a selection of sleeping bags found in Woodheys park during July.  

These aren't the only signs of nocturnal visitors of the unwelcome kind.  Broken fences along Woodhouse Lane East also point to after hours visitors to the park.  So much so that patrols within the area have been stepped up to discourage these unwanted visitors.  

Woodheys Park inspection makes it into the top 4.

At the end of July an inspection was carried out of Woodheys park and the score shows Woodheys Park to be the fourth best kept park in the Borough.  Once the showpiece park Woodheys has undergone a number of changes, both in personnel within the park and the way the park is funded.  

Wintery picture of Woodheys Park.

Amatuer photographer Eddie Middleton who is originally from Sale but now works and lives in Scotland visited Woodheys Park in February.  On a windy and blustery winters day he took this photograph which is showing on his website, http://www.eddie-middleton.com.

In Sale visiting family Eddie and his wife visited "Pinky Park", a favourite haunt of his wife whilst growing up in the area.  I am sure you will agree the photograph of the childrens play area is dramatic in black and white and perfectly highlights the park on a cold, winters day.
