There most certainly is not a charge no. The Friends Of Rhyddings Park look after the area and the animals. At the moment that means Phil opens up and closes and does all the looking after and I get up when I can to try and keep the place looking tidy. I have been busy recently but have been up today tidying up. The food is all supplied by Hyndburn Borough Council's Parks Department and we get other money we need through small grants from Oswaldtwistle Area Council. Hopefully we will manage like this to keep the area up and running.
If the Parks for People Lottery bid is successful we are planning to move the pets area to the current tennis/basketball court area. This will give us a larger more secure area for the animals.
The gates are opened in the morning, usually before 8am and closed at night about 7pm ish at the moment.
