The first phase of works on the Rain Garden began just over two weeks a go and what a transformation in such a short space of time! Huge thanks to Salford City Council and the contractors who are truly going above and beyond☺️ #greenspace #manchester #rockpool #raingarden

Parr Fold Park has two rock pools that are much overgrown and neglected. @salford_council have secured funding for the first phase of work to start end of September to create a rain garden!🥳 #raingarden #suds #parrfoldpark #walkden #salford #manchester #m28

A lot of our park users are very respectful of the park as an environment and its inhabitants, the wildlife.🌍 Sadly a minority seem to think it’s acceptable to not take their litter home with them or use the bins around the park. #ParrFoldPark #M28 #Salford #litter #park

Photographed near the Walkden Road entrance is some Turkey Tail fungi (Trametes versicolor). 🦃 The increased damp and cooler temperatures that come with Autumn are perfect for many fungi species to thrive. 🍄 #parrfoldpark #manchester #turkeytail #fungi #autumn #salford

Big thanks to our volunteers who during the past few weeks have worked on the banking area parallel to Park Road, including where the glacial erratic boulder is. 🥰 #parrfoldpark #manchester #salford #M28 #park #Volunteers #greenspace #boulder #glacial #glacialboulder

Himalayan Birch (Betula Jacquemontii) is well known for its white bark. 🌳 Our volunteer Sue also noticed what looks like an eye where some of the bark has come away. 👁️ #parrfoldpark #walkden #salford #manchester #birch #eye #bark #himalayanbirch
