Friends of Black Patch Park
We are committed to the retention in perpetuity of the whole of Black Patch Park and to the improvement of the park for the benefit of all local people. To this end we have been working with Sandwell MBC and other parties to ensure that the park meets the needs of the local and wider community. The Friends meet about once every 6 weeks and all who are interested are welcome to attend. Our Patron is Darren Moore, former West Bromwich Albion football player. Since the formation of the Friends we have successfully campaigned to retain the entire area of the park as open space in Sandwell's Unitary Development Plan and the Smethwick Area Action Plan; held community events in the park including annual Spring Clean events; created an exhibition about the park (currently at Soho House Museum); and worked with local historian and author Ted Rudge to celebrate the Romany heritage of the park at regular annual events. Further information about the campaign to save the park, the Romany heritage, and the areas industrial history can be found on Ted Rudge's website www.winsongreentobrookfields.co.uk
