General notes

Captain Robert C. Petre handing deeds to Cllr R.H. Whittaker (Chairman of the Council) with Mrs Petre holding a bouquet.

Originally, the park was leased and opened in 1936. Later the park was gifted to Rishton U.D.C. in 1953 but there were delays in laying out the park so it was not officially handed over until 1959.
