Beautiful park close to the town centre Well maintained gardens & footpaths through a small woodland with a stream. There is a small takeaway cafe run by the students of a nearby school. Term time only. Drinks & snacks + ice cream in summer

A very well kept Park. Lots of bird sounds to listen to. Beautiful trees, lots of flowers beds and a well kept bowling green. A pretty stream flowing through which can be ferocious or a trickle.

Beautiful place to come for a walk. Lovely through all the seasons. Fun park for the kiddos to enjoy, tennis and basket ball courts and crown green bowling. Cute cafe run by children from a local school under supervision throughout week days. Very kind of Mr Scott to consider us all when leaving the money for people to enjoy the park.

Lovely park with large walk from one play area to the little Zipline area and a lovely kiosk selling amazing coffee at weekend ! And every day in the summer hols. Very friendly owner. Courts for ball games and gym equipment. And if you park at Park road entrance (near the zip line you'll find a free little library to swap books ) Something for all ages here and dogs.

This is a great park for dog walkers and is well equipped for kids with climbing frames and a zip wire etc, there are bowling greens too and public toilets. It is a lovely park, not too big.. outdoor events are sometimes held here such as mini music festival days in the summer etc. Burnley, for a moderately sized town, has an abundance of lush parks, and this isn't quite Towneley or Thompson's park but it's definitely one of the best smaller parks and very pretty with a stream and a quaint little bridge, wooded pathways and a statue of Mr Scott! There are also public toilets which are actually clean and nearly always have loo paper in!
