Haslam Park — Attraction in Preston

Haslam Park is a traditional late victorian style park. It is of mixed layout including wildlife area, kids play area, bowling greens and wide open grassed area. It's bordered by a canal to the east, Blackpool Road to the south. The car park is however small and is hit or miss in spaces being available.
