Parks and Promenade
We operate and maintain a number of parks, recreation grounds, playing fields and open spaces across the district. We also manage the promenade and immediate sea front area along the district's coastline.
Attractions
Morecambe promenade offers stunning panoramic views across Morecambe Bay to the mountains of the Lake District.
Nearby Happy Mount Park retains a quiet and traditional park atmosphere, with ornamental gardens, a cafe, and a modern splash park for children of all ages.
Dominating the Lancaster skyline is the distinctive Ashton Memorial, sitting in the extensive grounds of Williamson Park. The park offers woodland walks and a tropical butterfly house, amongst many other attractions.
Other parks across the district offer bowling, tennis, basketball and football facilities amongst many others (some with all-weather surfaces) as well as children's play areas.
Meet our Sport and Play Officers
Our Sport and Play Officers provide exciting and fun events for young people and their families within the district’s parks, open spaces and Morecambe Promenade. Our events are open to all and take place throughout the year.
Friends of Parks
Friends of Parks groups play a vital role in protecting and enhancing local parks, woodlands, play areas and green spaces in the area.
Park and grounds maintenance
We are responsible for the upkeep of parks and open spaces in the urban core, including grass cutting, litter bin emptying, play facilities, bowling greens, football pitches and tree pruning and felling.
