I meant the Park is not big enough to cut a chunk off and still be suitable for its catchment area. It is similar in size to parks with a much smaller population than Oswaldtwistle and half the size of Cutwood Park in Rhiston.

Access is also a problem.

Below is a list of recreation grounds currently maintained by Hyndburn Borough Council as stated on their website. None of which are in Ossy - there may be green spaces that don't belong to HBC like off Fielding Lane but these belong to LCC and Rhyddings School (sort of).

  • Belthorn Recreation Ground ~ Belthorn
  • Baxenden Recreation Ground ~ Baxenden
  • Lyndon Avenue Recreation Ground ~ Great Harwood
