Vernon Park — Attraction in Stockport

I’ve been a resident going to this park for over 30years now and the park where the disabled are meant to be learning and working but the staff stop them talking to the customers and they shout and scream at them all day, the only ones who is good for them is Jill, who’s a very nice and kind lady. Keith and carol make fun of the people and refuses to give them a drink when it’s hot and they are dehydrated. They punish them for the tiniest thing. I think that social services should check it out. And that’s come from Ellen who has been going there for ages with the dogs and they don’t give them enough to eat as they are horrible people being prejudiced against the two little boys and call them a villain that use to go around stapping people. Jill isn’t the problem and is amazing with them. Please stop before it...

Walk up the steep hill past the traditional bandstand towards Woodbank Park and the small café with indoor and outdoor seating and you have lots of running space for both people, dogs and cycling. There are many grand old trees, a childrens play park, a large plant nursery and two wildlife pond areas. There is a once a grand Hall but it is sadly falling into disrepair and is in great need of restoration. I can only assume that Stockport Council does not have the funds. Here you will also find the professional sports facilities,...
