Pennington Hall Park — Attraction in Wigan

Very good facility, nice cafe which sells hot food. 2 tennis courts, a football pitch, a well- funded play park and an outdoor excercize area. Good for learning to bike ride, walking your dog or a fun day out for families with children, especially younger ones or children between 12 and 14 as there is a bigger kid section and little kid section to the park. The park is of walking distance or a bus journey from leigh bus station so it easily accessible. I've been there 100s of times but most recently I went to do some roller skating with my sibling (who was on a skateboard).

Went for a bird spotting session. Site has numerous hides for viewing, all very well maintained and easily accessible. There is a good connection of pathways, mostly suitable for all, including disabled. There is a path that goes around lake, takes good hour, walking leisurely. Parking is £1.20 a day, with ample space, although can get very busy at weekends, still enough parking though. Ticket machines out of use at present, but tickets can be purchased at golf shop. Amenities are: toilets, trailer for food, drink and bird food, ice cream van. Plenty of benches and picnic tables, also ample waste bins. There is children's play area, which gets well used. There is the Robin Hood pub opposite the entrance to the park. They have excellent food and drinks on, very cosy and comfortable. Would recommend Pennigton...

I have been visiting this park for over 33 years, and it remains as well-maintained and family-friendly as ever. The recent addition of a cafe has further enhanced the park's appeal. However, I was slightly disappointed with my experience at the cafe.
