Transforming Hyndburn

Bury Meadows

A new country park, Bury Meadows, is planned for Oswaldtwistle. 87 Acres of Land is set to become a new country park, after being purchased by Hyndburn Borough Council. This fantastic green space will be safeguarded for future generations and is part of wider plans to invest in all of Hyndburn’s towns, improving wellbeing for residents and attracting more visitors from Lancashire and beyond. This is a huge opportunity to do something significant for climate action, protecting the natural environment. This site is so important as it has a huge mosaic of habitats, there is almost every habitat you could imagine here, such as woodland, grassland, wetland, and an open water course. Consultation with community groups, Stanhill Residents Group, environmental organisations and local people will shape the future of the country park. Ideas suggested so far include a nature reserve with footpath trails and to explore the scope for outdoor activities such as paddleboarding, horse riding, climbing and cycling. There will be lots of opportunities for people to get involved, everyone is welcome to help and be part of upcoming activities.
