Friends of Lightoaks Park

@SalfordCCHelp @aaroncornish All gone the next day, thank you :)

@aaroncornish @lightoakspark Hi Aaron I have logged this with the cleansing team, reference number 2056420. Thanks Louise

@SalfordTrotter @SalfordNow We are working towards Green Flag status in 2024 🫰

@SalfordNow And you’ve missed @lightoakspark of that list which has been transformed over the last few years to become a fantastic place for families to come and enjoy. 🌳 🛝 ☕️ 🍪

@SalfordTrotter @SalfordNow Thank you for your kind words Pete! :)

@SalfordNow @lightoakspark I’d be amazed if the other green spaces have transformed themselves in the same way that Light Oaks Park has. I’m sure they are fabulous places to visit and deserve the recognition they have received but the ‘Friends of Light Oaks Park’ deserve recognition too.

@courtneylambs @MarkFrith2020 Hey Courtney. Sorry for slow reply. Yes, we might well apply this year to mulch one of the flower beds. Thanks for thinking of us :)

Have you seen this compost donation scheme @lightoakspark @MarkFrith2020 ? recycleforgreatermanchester.com/compost-donati…

@pkinsella2 @SalfordCouncil Thanks Paddy! We love them too :)

Thank you to Sarah, who has once again created a beautiful tribute to the 22 victims who lost their lives on the 22nd May 2017. Please do come and take one of the hearts Sarah has knitted. #Manchester22 #AHeartForMCR #SpiritOfSalford

Come along to Lightoaks Park next Tuesday evening the 25th of April at 6.30pm, meeting at the Tea'osk, to find out more about course. Or email the friends group details on poster below. @SalfordCouncil SalfordOnline.com @lightoakspark

@MancJules Looking fantastic, will be even better when the lillies all pop up. Thanks for sharing.

@garethjoyner Thanks Gareth. There have been some very odd menu choices recently for the ducks. Someone dumped a portion of chips with gravy the other day. It's a big problem as it attracts rats.

We have a bat walk at Lightoaks Park next Friday evening the 14th of April, use the link below to book your place(s) 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 eventbrite.co.uk/e/600364064077 @lightoakspark @SalfordCouncil @VisitSalford

@WildLifePaul @BBCSpringwatch @gardenature @_BTO @BTO_GBW @katemacrae @Natures_Voice @Team4Nature @NatureUK @ChrisGPackham @RSPBEngland Wow! Love it. Still waiting for nest building to start here. They come in every morning, but construction yet to start :)

Nest is taking shape in our log box by the blue tits 🐦💙 @BBCSpringwatch

We have noticed lots more action in the blue tit nest box these last few days! We even managed to spot both parents in the box at the same time :)

@salford_mayor @SalfordCouncil @the_LTA We are looking forward to trying out the new courts! Are you coming down for a match Salford Mayor? We will provide the strawberries and cream :)

🗣️Great news, Salford City Council @SalfordCouncil & the Lawn Tennis Association @the_LTA have agreed a new partnership, which will see £662,743 invested in our public park tennis courts across the city. More details in the Council’s press release.👇🏻 salford.gov.uk/your-council/n…

@MancJules That is a lovely tree! One of my faves when it is in blossom.

Had a little leg stretch round the park @lightoakspark

The Tea'Osk is now open for summertime hours, 10am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday.

@courtneylambs Bad time to be a frog in that pond eek!

Three herons have now been spotted in @lightoakspark 😮

@StuartGreer They only seem to come in for a brief visit each day. Hopefully they will start bringing in nesting materials over the next week or so :)

We have had a visitor in the Birdbox this weekend, blink and you will miss it though :)

@courtneylambs That would be lovely! Never seen heron chicks before

@lightoakspark Could there be some heron babies on the way 👀

Hello to Ms. Heron, who appears to have made Light Oaks their spring home 🏡 @lightoakspark
