Since the playground for the children has been updated and all the old tired slides have gone and the new ones put up it is great for children of all ages. My daughter loves to take her scooter or bike and ride round the mini roads. Lovely place to take your dog for a walk or just take a walk yourself. Go Ape is good fun too there’s so much to do there now and you can even get a snack or an ice cream 🙂. I’d say the only downside is that the public toilets aren’t always open and the cafe isn’t always willing to give out the key for the disabled toilet not good when you’re out with your children 😟. Apart from that I’d recommend it!
Beautiful park. Rest rooms are open to the public. Trail walks are suitable for young children. You get to see some farm animals out in the fields on the walks. Even walking through with the sheep.
Park play equipment has been recently refurbished. It gets very busy. Lots of equipment and more modern. Shame they didn't do the 3rd playground area. It's always quiet there. Fishing area. Food and drink shop there but over priced. Lots of parking spaces. Wheel chairs and pushchairs can get around the park easily. Not so much the nature trail walks, though, unfortunately. There's a gym on site that you could sign up to and use the running track.

Lovely visit withe dogs an grandchildren lots if walking chips ice cream new adventure Park an fun fair.
Visited with the kids so they could try out the new park. They loved it. The cafe staff were lovely when we popped in for a brew and ice cream. Lovely and clean albeit a bit muddy (which we love, the muddier the better)
Good sized car park, takes either cash or card. Parks in main part are all finished and according to my 10 year daughter, absolutely amazing!! Small sandpit, small fenced new toddler park and biiiig open large park. Lots of kids playing today including teenagers, lots of challenge equipment and 2 ziplines to race on!There's also a new Go Ape tree course (chargeable and book in advance) and lots of walks to enjoy. Big open spaces and secret walks around the Big Wander Woods. Bit sad that the little wooden park in there hasn't been updated.
Good cafe which allows (well behaved) dogs in too.

Hadn't been in a while, there is a charge for parking, 80p for upto 2hrs or £2 all day, which to be fair is good value. There's a lot of investment happening, with a sports centre, Go Ape, and a new play area in progress for the kids, as well as existing play areas, visitor centre with sone animals/caged birds, small pond with ducks/squirrels, sports fields & areas to take dogs for a run. Ladies toilets were gross (wiped poo on the walls 🤢) mens toilets were locked! Cafe was nice, but limited to pretty unhealthy food (burgers, chips, bacon/sausage butties, cheese toasties & ice cream plus crisps/cookies/chocolate which was disappointing so left without buying anything.
Good for flat walks, and there's also access into Billinge Woods for those wanting more woodland (and muddy depending on the weather) walk and fungi spotting. We managed to cover almost 5 miles walking both the Witton/Billinge routes.

Lovely place for a walk with the dog. Varied terrains and different paths for different walking abilities and plenty of forest to explore.
A lovely space to walk around. Lots of fields, a river running through it, lily pond, Go Ape for the adventurous. The cafe is really good, lots of choice and freshly made.
Recommend for a day out, kids, dogs, everyone!
