Lovely place to visit, especially if you enjoy nature and a peaceful walk around the lake. Pennington Flash Country Park has some beautiful views and is great for spotting wildlife. Just be prepared, it can get quite muddy in places, so wellies are definitely a good idea, especially after rain. The paths are not always easy to walk on with normal shoes. Parking was £2.50, which felt reasonable for the time we spent there. Overall, a nice spot for a relaxed outdoor walk, just plan ahead with proper footwear.

Great place £2.50 to park Lots to do, great place for a walk , also for wildlife, Don't always expect to charge here as the ev charge bays on a busy day may be taken by ICE cars ,the EV bays clearly marked but ignored , when i was there one plug in hybrid plugged in

A very pleasant place to spend time walking around the lake. This is a nature reserve with bird hides dotted along the pathways to enable you to watch all the wild birds. There is a cafe on the site as well as toilet facilities. There is plenty of access wheel chairs and able bodied. There's a playground there as well as a golf course. The parking is very reasonable. We only paid £2.50 for the 4 hours we were there. A most enjoyable visit. Many thanks John

Lovely place which seems to be well maintained. Lots of hides and viewpoints over the lake and wetlands/nature reserve. Short walk to reach the Leeds-Liverpool canal albeit there is a steep bank to get up to it. Sadly Wigan Council has withdrawn the car park from the blue badge scheme meaning that blue badge holders have to pay despite it being a council run car park and not private. £2.50 is a reasonable price for parking all day and for the upkeep, however I feel that people that are able to park on the street and walk can avoid the £2.50 fee, when people with reduced mobility are not. Plenty of benches to sit along the paths. Mostly wheelchair accessible except paths are not gravel/tarmac.

Lovely walking area for dogs and families. Has a cafe where you can enjoy a drink or something to eat. There's a park for the kids. With ice cream hut Lovely place ✨
