Background
History
The park has an area of about 6 ha. It was formerly the site of Old Buffery Colliery; it was purchased from M & W Grazebrook in 1891, and opened in 1893 with a range of recreational facilities. The garden was maintained by council staff. For many years there was a conservatory, or Glass Pavilion; there were four tennis courts, a cycle track, a bowling green and a putting pitch. The Friends and Residents of Buffery Park was established in 2001, after concerns were raised about the deteriorating state of the park. The group carries out projects to improve the park, with assistance from funding bodies, and organises events. The park received a Green Flag Award in 2016.
