Avenham and Miller Park — Attraction in Preston

Lovely park. Not all entrances are accessible for wheelchairs and prams. We came in, or tried to, from East cliff side and it was bollards and steps so had to walk round. Very steep path all the way down the the pavilion but if you're pretty fit it's fine (I'm 8 and a half months pregnant). Lots of places to sit, lovely little cafe selling ice cream and barm cakes with bacon/sausage. Lovely stroll along the river ribble, wide flat paths perfect for pram, wheelchairs, runners and cyclists. Small park for the kids next to public toilets. They were clean enough but very dark. These were not wheelchair accessible and dis not have changing facilities for babies. We took a picnic and a football which was perfect.

It has been a choice location for music festivals over the years and no wonder with a massive grass embankment that form's a glorious natural amphitheatre. Affording excellent views of the temporary stage. Easily capable of seating several...

A really nice park that anyone can enjoy. Their is a small play park at the bottom of the hill with a small but lovely cafe next to it-great for children. The area has large open grass area and multiple pathways taking you around the park, some are more "off road" than others but they are mostly well defined. As shown in my photos their are some beautiful Chinese gardens, a water fountain and large rocked areas with a man made waterfall.

Overall the area is very nice for a casual walk while having facilities for both children to play and open ground for sports.

The only downside I would say is its lack of security, it is rather isolated and at night I have known it to be quite rough. If the council set up better night light systems and security cameras as they have done at Winckley Square I believe this would easily...
