Grange Park

Located on the East side of Preston, Grange Park provides a pleasant place for formal and informal sport as well as picturesque walks. The park is Preston's first park to receive a Green Flag Award - originally gaining the award in 2002, and retaining this status every year since.

With the site of an old Victorian manor house to visit, the park is steeped in history and beauty, making it an interesting place to spend your spare time and soak up some local heritage. You'll also find formal gardens to wander through and winding paths to stroll along.

Grange Park has several entrance points for ease of access by foot and bicycle. If you fancy a further explore, why not enjoy a short stroll to Grange Valley Nature Reserve or discover Boilton Wood and Pope Lane Field nearby.
