Whitwick Park (see Land & Property for other sites)

Whitwick Park is a King Georges Field charity.  Part of this charitable land was transferred to Parsonwood Hill Recreations Ground to enable a site within the Park to be used for construction of Park Hall (formerly Whitwick Youth Centre).  Trusteeship of this Charity was transferred from NWLDC to the Parish Council in 2014.  A mixture of formal flower beds and other shrubbery areas provides a natural environment enjoyed by many visitors.
