A pleasant and well kept little park. The flower beds are always heavily populated with interesting and colourful plants and flowers most of the year round: the park staff clearly take a huge amount of pride in their work! It's always clean and tidy attracts all sorts of people from families, dog walkers, skaters and people playing basketball or bowls which are both in the park grounds also. There's a large pond with waterfalls and ducks and swans, there's a few statues, and there are also numerous hidden stone sculptures to find tucked away in the trees and hedges if you fancy a wander.

Great historical park next to Wigan town centre. Looked after well by the council. Flowers mown lawns. The pavillion looks amazing something out of historical England. Sells the legendary Fredrick's ice cream. And has plenty of inside and outside seating with views of the park. Nice pond area with benches and a waterfalls.lots of dedicated dog free playgrounds for kids and younger children. Bowling green tennis courts. Bandstand. Events field the list goes on. Not the biggest park around but plenty to offer and nice escape from busy town life.

Decent sized park with playground areas for small, infant children and a separate one for older children. There is a cafe in the centre where beverages and ice cream are sold. In addition, there is wheelchair assess to both the park and the cafe, and there are plentiful benches across the entire park. Unfortunately the bowling green, tennis courts and basket ball area are somewhat run down. All in all, the park is a good place to visit, especially with children. Dogs are allowed everywhere apart from the playgrounds.

Lovely example of a Victorian public space, standing at the top of the stairs looking towards the fountain and seeing the layout essentially unchanged in over a century can give a little insight into the vision of the Victorians still paying off to this day. The renovated summer house (I'm sure it has a proper name) is a nice ice cream and coffee stop that well behaved dogs can have a rest on their walk. An original band stand is another reminder of days gone by. A credit to Wigan and the council.

Excellent park for all a beautiful fountain in full flourishment. Up the steps to a wonderful cafe unfortunately the toilets are closed 😕 Lovely open greenery, play area for the kids or an ideal place for the adults to do a little training if the children are not around !! Could be fun 🤩 Shame about the tennis courts and bowling greens looks like they are waiting for new development don’t know which year in the future though 🤓 Lovely park to be enjoyed by all.👍
