It’s Love Parks Week - a celebration of the vital role green spaces play in our communities. Not only do they encourage physical activity and exercise on a daily basis, they are also ideal community hubs and event spaces.

Pennington Hall Park is a beautiful community space, right in the heart of Leigh. The former hall was gifted to the town in the 1920's and it's grounds have transformed over the years from a garden in to a much loved community park.

🚂The Haigh Woodland railway first opened in 1986 and takes a 1.6km route around the upper plantations of Haigh Woodland Park. It was a family favourite until its closure in 2020, so it's great to hear of the investment to bring this popular attraction back.
