Worden Park

Worden Park is a hidden gem, situated on the edge of Leyland. With its mature woodlands, open meadows, historic natural landscapes, varied wildlife and peaceful setting offers a haven of natural beauty where you can walk, picnic and relax in undisturbed surroundings. In addition to Worden's natural appeal, it's a great family day out, where visitors can enjoy a range of facilities. The park's adventure playground is designed for all children from a wide age range. They will have a great time climbing and exploring the variety of play equipment. The fantastic Georgian Walled Garden has been restored to show the wonderful working gardens that would have served the hall. The garden can be found in the heart of Worden Park, where you can see the original historic features and a variety of vegetable, perennials, herbs and flowers. Originally designed by the landscape architect William Andrews Nesfield, the formal gardens at Worden provide a quiet space for visitors to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, surrounded by colourful bedding displays. The miniature railway - open weekends and bank holidays and every Tuesday in school holidays. Free rides are provided to the public around the park's wildflower meadows on a newly extended route which is now almost 1km long. 9 hole crazy golf - open weekends and school holidays. A small charge is payable with the chance to win a free extra round by sounding the buzzer at the tenth hole. Hedge maze - this historic feature is open to the public at all times and is one of very few such mazes which is free of charge to explore. You can have some great fun finding your way into the centre, but it's harder to find your way out. Due to the age of the maze, visitors are asked to take care not to damage the ancient hedging and young children must be supervised at all times.
