Park walks
As the weather begins to slowly improve, you can enjoy the beauty of our park and green spaces without getting as soaking wet or covered in mud. You can explore the beauty of Wicksteed Park this May by enjoying leisurely strolls around the beautiful park and lake.
Whether you are seeking a quiet moment of reflection surrounded by nature or a family stroll, Wicksteed Park in May offers charming beauty like no other.
During your time exploring the park, you may even spot Percy the Peacock roaming around in Splash zone, or the baby goslings following their mothers around the lake. There is so much beauty to discover at Wicksteed Park.
Please remember a brolly or a jacket as a sunny day doesn’t guarantee the unpredictable British weather won’t take a turn for the worst.
