Friends of Verdin Park is a community organisation committed to preserving and enhancing one of Northwich's most treasured public spaces — for the benefit of residents, wildlife, and future generations.
“Verdin Park has been the green heart of Northwich since 1887. We are here to ensure it remains a living, thriving, and welcoming space — for picnics and play, for nature and quiet reflection, for this generation and the next.”
Friends of Verdin Park Committee
Our work is guided by four core commitments to the park and the people of Northwich.
Protecting and enhancing the park's wildlife habitats, trees, and green spaces for generations to come.
Honouring Verdin Park's Victorian origins and its significance to the community of Northwich over 130 years.
Championing the park as a shared public space for recreation, relaxation, and community gathering.
Operating with full transparency — publishing our constitution, minutes, and financial reports publicly.

Wildflower Meadow — 2026 Update
The wildflower meadow has not flowered this year. Chris Shaw, Chief Clerk for Northwich Town Council, has told us: “Unfortunately, and for reasons unknown, the seed has not germinated. We are in contact with the supplier, and we have ordered additional seed to re-sow the area.”
