What visitors say
Very nice and clean. And then you can clim from there to the beautiful lighthouse and enjoy the stunning views. Well done to whoever looks after this park

A real gem in Ulverston. Easy to access by both car and public transport, which made the visit stress-free. We enjoyed a lovely day out during the summer, with beautiful scenery and great views of the lighthouse. You can really tell the community takes pride in the park. There’s a brilliant playground for children, surrounded by orchards, and plenty of nature trails to explore. The colourful nursery is a joy to browse, and the café is a perfect spot to relax afterwards. A wonderful place for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a relaxed day out.

Lovely little park. Outdoor gym and play area. At the end of the park is a lovely walled garden that you can walk around, and there is a cafe. Carry on ahead and walk up to the monument if you are feeling energetic. Great views on a clear day, we managed to spot Blackpool Tower.
