Stanley Park Blackpool is an award winning Grade II* listed park a mile inland from the promenade. Voted best park in the UK twice, 2017 and 2019 in the Fields in Trust vote, it contains two large lakes, superb floral displays, top class sports facilities and many leisure facilities for all the family. We're proud to be able to work with Blackpool Council on maintaining this fine asset for our town.

Monthly Meeting October 16th 2021

Saturday 16th October 2021 2pm to 4pm. Monthly Meeting with guest speaker Keith Myerscough. The talk will be 'Blackpool's Playful Crowds'. At the Visitor Centre.

'During the second-half of the nineteenth century Blackpool became the favourite leisure destination for those seeking Health, Pleasure, and Recreation. Lancashire’s labouring classes flocked to Blackpool in their masses, playing hard and spending freely. It was a new breed of leisure entrepreneur that catered for the needs of the playful crowds'.
