Be realistic folks - would you thraipse all the way (uphill) to that park to listen to a brass band on a Sunday? Once a year use doesnt justify a rebuild there.
If they rebuilt it on Broadway and livened up the town centre with concerts I might well come out of hibernation and go.

It would be used more than once a year. I'm not sure where you've got that idea from. Hyndburn Mela and Community Festival use it once a year but there used to be lots of other activities and events going on.
And yes, people do traipse up to the events. I can only speak for the one that I'm involved in but we get in excess of 5,000 coming each year. Our event is a multicultural event with people from all communities - including this year, our first Polish group performing.
This is what parks are for - we can not give in to vandals - we have to reclaim them and encourage them to be used as often as possible.
