WHITWORTH PARK

WHITWORTH PARK

Whitworth Park is a private park, open to the public 365 days a year. The park contains several ponds, an ornamental lake and a wide variety of trees as well as various planted areas all nestled within 10 acres of mature parkland. Threaded by wide paved paths, the park is accessible for wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility scooters. Home to numerous indigenous and migrating wildlife, Whitworth Park is a beautiful, tranquil, serene, landscape to walk, run, picnic, read, play, meet and interact with other members of the community or visitors to the peaks. All are welcome! Photograph taken by Mary Wilde.
