“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Jack at Total Fitness Wigan My daughter Eva and I had an introduction to the gym with Jack, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jack was incredibly kind, professional, and thorough. He took the time to really understand our goals, showed genuine care in walking us through everything, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and fully informed. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and personable. A fantastic ambassador for Total Fitness Wigan — thank you, Jack!”

“What a fantastic place to visit when there's bluebells garlic flowers and fresh green leaves. It has an abundance of bird life . So happy to have seen dippers on the stream . The sound of running water and bird song made it extra special. You access it from Danes avenue where there is ample parking . It's signposted as Rayner park . Walk up the avenue to the top where you will see a cemetery . Turn left and head towards the tunnels. It's a Mecca for dog walkers and nature lovers as well as hikers. You can walk all the way to Aspull.”

“First time visiting here and me and the family really enjoyed it, the paths have been well maintained so made it easy to walk around. There is quite a few benches around and near the main pond they have a couple of picnic benches. The swans and ducks there seemed really friendly and we managed to hand feed 2 of the swans. Spent around 3 hours there and still feel like we haven't seen all this place as to offer.”

“Well kept, lovely and spacious park. Lots of events, clearly excellent ranger team. Café food is basic but nice enough for a quick pit stop, the prices are very affordable, cafe staff are lovely and efficient. Definitely recommend visiting here. The only negative is that on event days the toilets by the cafe are not cleaned and stocked frequently enough so can be unpleasant. On a normal day they are a bit dated but clean.”

“Regularly walk around, and live finding new things. The Enchanted Forest with the fairy houses is such a delight for the youngsters, and us oldies too.”

“Lovely place. You can have a short stroll around one lake or a couple of hours around them all and further into the woodlands to the streams, surrounded by countryside and varied species of birds including great crested cormorants, geese, robins etc. Benches well spaced out if you need a break. Free car park. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature. The banks of bluebells are lovely.”

“Lovely place to come for a walk or to chill out for a bit. It was popular when I visited, but wasn't too busy such that you could still walk around and find empty benches (though it was a bitter January day, so I can imagine during summer this location may be very busy). Plenty of ducks and geese to feed (please research food that is good for them - no bread!). It is very easy to get here from the railway station, though there is also a small car park available.”
