Had a day out with the family today and had a lovely time. The weather was amazing and so was the company. There are several car parks with several disabled parking which is free for blue badge holders and £2 for the day for everyone else which is very reasonable. As for the park, it's very clean and tidy. Plenty of bins and loads of benches for you to rest on. Several play areas for the children to enjoy with climbing frames, swings etc. We went to the on site café and something to eat and it's nothing to write home about. The food was okay but definitely NOT worth the price we paid. The drinks were okay but delivered about 20 minutes before the food. They are dog friendly as long as they are on leads and behave themselves. It's a bit cramped inside but there is plenty of outside seating. There are toilets round the sides of the café. I didn't go in so can't comment. The paths we used were pram and wheelchair friendly, maybe a little bumpy though. There's a river that is accessible so you can cool your dogs down in. Lots of open fields to let the kids run wild and tire themselves out. All in all it was a good day and would definitely recommend. Plenty if picnic benches dotted around.

Hadn't been in a while, there is a charge for parking, 80p for upto 2hrs or £2 all day, which to be fair is good value. There's a lot of investment happening, with a sports centre, Go Ape, and a new play area in progress for the kids, as well as existing play areas, visitor centre with sone animals/caged birds, small pond with ducks/squirrels, sports fields & areas to take dogs for a run. Ladies toilets were gross (wiped poo on the walls 🤢) mens toilets were locked! Cafe was nice, but limited to pretty unhealthy food (burgers, chips, bacon/sausage butties, cheese toasties & ice cream plus crisps/cookies/chocolate which was disappointing so left without buying anything. Good for flat walks, and there's also access into Billinge Woods for those wanting more woodland (and muddy depending on the weather) walk and fungi spotting. We managed to cover almost 5 miles walking both the Witton/Billinge routes.

Good sized car park, takes either cash or card. Parks in main part are all finished and according to my 10 year daughter, absolutely amazing!! Small sandpit, small fenced new toddler park and biiiig open large park. Lots of kids playing today including teenagers, lots of challenge equipment and 2 ziplines to race on!There's also a new Go Ape tree course (chargeable and book in advance) and lots of walks to enjoy. Big open spaces and secret walks around the Big Wander Woods. Bit sad that the little wooden park in there hasn't been updated. Good cafe which allows (well behaved) dogs in too.

Great park with plenty for all ages to enjoy. Recently updated with a toddler park area and one for older children aswell. Pump track for the kids to ride there bikes on and plenty of space to run around with dogs. We had ice creams from Ronnie's café and these were brilliant and big enough that we could all share without arguments. Also the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows was pretty good too! Car park on site that is 80p for 2 hours or £2 for all day which is pretty good to be fair with plenty of spaces. Will definitely be going back soon

Really amazing place to spend all day alone or with family. :) Plenty of nice paths, long walks around surrounded by beautiful nature. You can buy there coffee, ice-cream, drinks. During weekend park and playgrounds can be bit busy. Cheep car park, lots of space. One star less for destroyed playground,(my kids was well disappointed!) which can be dangerous from inside playing there. I really hope it wil be fixed soon cuz it's amazing idea and got g potential and could made kids really hay and adventurous! :) please, please, please fix it!
