Queens Park (Park)
with it being a really nice day today i decided to take Reece and my nieces upto Queens Park (park), it was glorious up there, the lake looked lovely with all the ducks, geese and swans on it
one accywebber told me he's never been up there, infact he didnt even know where it was,or that it even existed, anyone else ever been? its such a gorgeous park and its HUGE just a few of the pics i took when i was there

Re: Queens Park (Park)
Going there was one of our "days out" when we were young Shaz. No money for holidays and got to say we had some great days there. Mumused to do a picnic and if I remember rightly you could get a jug of tea at the cafe. We played for hours just using our imagination. Happy days

A boat ride was an added treat depending on finances

Re: Queens Park (Park)
they should still do them, the park would make a lot of money if they still did that, they still do them at Thompson park in Burnley

Re: Queens Park (Park)
Still a great place to take the kids, we used to get the bus to Intack and walk up. It is a fair old climb but as I said we had some lovely days up there

Re: Queens Park (Park)
