Have you discovered Happy Mount Park yet?
Happy Mount Park provides both locals and tourists alike, no matter what age, with a parkland setting, just off the promenade, offering many activities from a gentle stroll to running through the interactive sprinkler system know as The Splash Park! It is exceptionally popular and is one of Morecambe's free to visit all year round attractions. It's a place you'll often find members of the JDG team visiting. Graham enjoys his jogging and running, Sarah is often there with the grandchildren!
Situated on the promenade on Marine Road East, entry into the park is free and dogs are allowed (but must be kept on a lead). You can park on the promenade or there is a pay and display car park in front of Morecambe Golf Club. Local bus services stop nearby and Bare Lane Railway Station is just a 10-minute walk away.
There is a charge for some of the attractions in the park or for a free afternoon out why not take a picnic and settle down on one of the many grassed areas. (Don't forget to dispose of your rubbish in one of the many bins provided in the park).
There are so many activities and attractions to enjoy. No wonder Happy Mount Park is a popular family day out.
