Blackhall Welfare Park is situated on the northern outskirts of the Parish of Monk Hesleden. The park is managed and maintained by Monk Hesleden Parish Council. It is a flagship facility which provides a valued recreational and leisure facility for the whole community, it is well used by local organised teams which include cricket, football field and bowling greens.
The Park was opened in 1929, and at this time it was managed and funded by the Miners Welfare Scheme. Following the closure of Blackhall Colliery in 1981 and the subsequent demise of the mining industry, the Park was transferred to the ownership of the Parish Council in 1989. This decision secured the future sustainability of a much-valued community asset which the Parish Council maintain to a high standard.
October 2010 saw the completion of new, long-awaited changing rooms at the Welfare Park. These were built with the help of funding from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and we think they offer some of the best facilities in the area.
