Explore a beautifully restored Victorian park with play areas for all ages, formal gardens, and historic features perfect for family days out.

Hare Hill Park is a traditional Victorian park in Littleborough that has been lovingly restored to its former glory. The park features a wide range of leisure facilities designed to appeal to families, including dedicated play areas for toddlers and older children, a skateboard park, and sports pitches. Beyond the play equipment, visitors can enjoy the park's formal gardens, historical features such as a listed water wheel and bandstand, and beautiful tarmac paths that wind through the grounds. The park is highly accessible with excellent facilities for families with pushchairs and young children. There are accessible parking spaces, flat or gradual gradient paths leading to all main areas, and an accessible toilet located at the Littleborough Library within the park. A roundabout designed for wheelchair use and a swing with an accessible bucket seat ensure inclusive play for all abilities. Hare Hill Park holds a Green Flag Award, recognizing its high standards of maintenance and community value. The Friends of Hare Hill Park, an active community group established over 14 years ago, has secured over £250,000 for restoration work, allowing original Victorian features to be preserved and appreciated. The park is open daily and offers free entry and free parking, making it an ideal destination for family outings. Dog-friendly facilities are also available for visitors with guide dogs.

Hare Hill park is a lovely family park in the village of Littleborough. It has two separate play ground areas that cater for different age groups of kids. One is aimed more for toddlers and the other for older kids, which includes a scate park. When you include the wide grassy areas and the band stand it's great. It doesn't have toilets however there are cafes close by with toilet facilities and also good food and ice cream. Littleborough Library is also close to the park as well as Star Trek Studios. On a sunny afternoon I can spend a few hours here with my 7 and 4 year old kids

A lovely large park with lots of green space, extremely well kept. A choice of two play areas for the kids. Craved wooden sculptures, historical house and bandstand located within the grounds. Great views of the surrounding areas.

Fascinating building celebrating its 250th year next year (2025). Lovely park and beautifully tended gardens around it.

Literally my favourite park ever!! Especially when the blossoms are out. I am always either here with the kids or walking about. It’s got two parks, a skate park area. Nice paths to walk on and lovely flowers. It’s very well kept by the gardeners.
