Absolutely love this place. So beautiful & full of wildlife & birds. Find this place so soothing & our dog loves it too. Great there's a cafe & facilities, which stays open until around 4pm. Parking is free also. Well done Chorley Council.

A nice park to walk with your pet
Aug 16, 2023
Great place for dog walkers and families. It is quite spread out. I'd say if you have a calm dog that is alright around ponds/ducks/kids etc then a walk around the pond and up into the woods where the waterfall is, is nice. There is a free car park and a kids play area, the woodland area isn't too strenuous either so nice for families. Also Birkacre nurseries is up the road and has a nice garden centre and cafe to drop into.
If youre interested mainly in dog walking and they wouldn't tolerate ducks and kids etc, there's more of a field and run around area near Southland's. Aim for the top of Dob Brow where there is a number of fields back to back, and a river for them to cool off if needed. Still nice for families but no kids park at this bit, plus a lot of off lead dogs...so if you're not a fan of dogs then I'd probably steer clear of this part.
