Peel Park lies alongside the River Irwell in the centre of the city of Salford, close to the heart of Manchester.

Working with the Friends of Peel Park and local partners the park has recently benefited from Heritage Lottery Funding and a major refurbishment programme to bring it back to its former glory. Through this funding we aim to “create an attractive, well used park for 21st century living providing a place for enjoyment, inspiration, reflection and a source of local pride”.

Working with partner organisations the Park Keeper will optimise community engagement opportunities to ensure sustainability beyond the life of the project.
