Stanley Park

OutdoorsStanley Park

Grade II listed park with a boating lake, Italian gardens and a bandstand.

Blackpool's big green space: 390 acres of formal gardens, a boating lake with rowing boats in season, an art deco cafe, tennis courts and a bandstand that still hosts concerts.

Free to enter, easy to reach by bus from the centre, and the best place in town for a slow morning.
