Green Flag Parks

Burnley boasts 6 Green Flag-awarded parks that exemplify excellence in public green spaces. Our parks, recognized for their high standards of maintenance, safety, and community involvement, provide our residents and visitors with beautiful landscapes and a variety of facilities for everyone.
Each park, from the historic Thompson Park with its picturesque boating lake to the expansive Towneley Park with its stately hall and woodland trails, offers a unique experience.

The Green Flag parks are not just picturesque escapes; they are vital assets for people’s health and well-being. With well-maintained playgrounds, open spaces for picnicking, and a variety of family-friendly activities, our parks provide ideal settings for quality family time. Additionally our diverse sports amenities promote active lifestyles and outdoor fun, supporting rounders, football and cricket leagues along with parkrun, Park Yoga, Park Play and more.

The natural beauty of our parks offer sanctuary from the stresses of daily life, so whether its walking the dog, taking a bike ride with the family or stood on the sidelines watching a sports fixture, our parks are perfect destinations for family outings, fostering community spirit, and encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle for both children and adults.

Burnley’s commitment to preserving and enhancing these green spaces underscores its dedication to making these parks indispensable to the town’s quality of life.
