Donated to the people of Northwich by the Verdin family in 1887, Verdin Park has served as a vital public green space for over 130 years. Its Victorian bandstand, mature trees, and open lawns are part of the town's heritage.
Friends of Verdin Park works constructively with Cheshire West and Chester Council, local schools, businesses, and residents to ensure the park continues to serve the whole community — safely, sustainably, and beautifully.
