Stanley Park is a beautiful place to visit and a great day out for all the family. It is set in 256 acres and has lots for everybody to do. There is the boating Lake with Pedal and rowing boats available for hire, large childrens play area, crazy golf, putting and tennis courts. There is also the band stand and the Italian and Rose Gardens and Fountains. There is lots of wide open spaces and picnic areas should you just want to relax and watch the world go by.
It is also next to Blackpool Model Village and across the road from the zoo, should you want to combine your visit with any of the above.
There is always something going on at the park should it be a fun day, music in the band stand or heritage day. Last year Stanley Park was the starting point for the Cycle Tour of Britain and this year the race for stage 1 will end on Blackpool Promenade on Saturday 11th September at approximately 1340. The park has also hosted The Blackpool Motorcycle Show and The Classic Car show in the Italian Gardens.
It is free entrance into the park and it was free to spectate the above, but there are charges for crazy golf, putting, hiring of boats and tennis courts. There is also The Art Deco Cafe where you can sit inside or outside and skate park for boys and their toys.
The Blackpool Motorcycle show took place on Sunday 11th July this year in the Italian Gardens in the very lovely Stanley Park. It was a beautiful sunny day and the bikes were great. Entrance was free for spectators and there was a really good turn out. Stanley Park is hosting more and more events and has a lovely setting.
This was held on Sunday 29th August from 10.00am until 4pm and was free for spectators. We were very lucky with the weather as it was a beautiful sunny day (windy) but at least sunny and dry. There was a very good turn out with lots of very lovely cars.
