- Friends of Locke Park are opening Locke Park Tower for visits on the first Sunday of each month from 2pm to 4 pm. This follows the opening of the Tower by David Allen chair of FOLP and Ken Richardson Mayor of Barnsley Council on September 14 2013. No charge but contributions for the further restoration of the Tower and other improvements to the Park very welcome.
