Pennington Hall Park

Leigh, United Kingdom•4.6(940)•City Park, Playground

Enjoy play areas, tennis courts, bowling greens and seasonal events in this historic community park with a thriving cafe.

Pennington Hall Park is a charming community park offering diverse recreational facilities for families and visitors of all ages. The park features dedicated play areas perfect for children, alongside tennis courts and bowling greens for those seeking more traditional sporting activities. Throughout the year, the park hosts special events including the popular Proms event in September, providing entertainment and community engagement opportunities. The venue has rich historical significance, with records of a hall on the site dating back to the 1200s when it was owned by the Pennington family. The grounds were beautifully adapted from the original hall gardens, with the park officially presented to Leigh Corporation in 1920. Today, Community Spaces CIC plays a vital role in maintaining the park as a welcoming community hub. The on-site Caffeina Cafe provides refreshments and food, while the wellbeing garden Grow Your Mind offers a peaceful space for visitors. Free entry and ample parking off Pennington Avenue make it an accessible destination for families seeking outdoor recreation and community connection.

Lovely little park for the younger kids. As well as the usual play equipment there is also a sand pit which my grandson's loved. There's also a reasonably priced cafe on site and toilets behind the cafe. Parking is also good here.

Used as a stopping place on a long journey down the M6. Lovely flowers, good parking, various play park areas. Severely let down by utterly shocking toilets with no hand soap, half out of order, very dirty and no baby change facilities at all!! To add to this, they lock the toilets up far earlier than the park is open (seem to be locked up when the café closes but this isn't stated anywhere) - we were lucky we used the toilets as we arrived else we wouldn't have been able to at all! For a children's play park, why have they not invested in modern toilet facilities with proper facilities for baby changing?! Clearly a lot of investment is being made to other areas but it's wasted without acceptable toilet and changing facilities.
