Literally the most enjoyable and recreational green space in the town. You can enjoy walking, jogging, biking and running here and make the most of its beautiful view to the gardens and the river. It is occasionally quiet and on the weekends group runners and walkers do turn up there. If you have an active lifestyle I do recommend visiting this park in all four seasons.

Excellent place for all the family, Walkers, Runners and more. Great for wandering, taking a stroll, events and much more. I’ve come here many times over sixty years. Something for everyone

Always great walking in these parks no matter what the time of the year it is. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the pathways on the opposite side of the river have had a major upgrade. You can now easily walk to the Capitol Centre on a tarmac path, so no more dodging puddles and mud. Brilliant work done by Preston Council.

Great place for a walk, whatever the weather. From the Japanese garden to the ornate seating and play area for kid’s. This is a park thats well cared for and used by many.

Stunning park, absolute credit to the grounds people. Japanese gardens beautiful. Such a relaxing walk, everyone seems to be chilled here, friendly and chatty. Local pub (continental) at one end or dog friendly cafe on the park (although they are missing a trick in not selling any dog treats, this would boost your profits given how busy you get with doggy visitors) Plenty of parking. Lots of families enjoying the last bits of nice weather. Football played at weekends. Guild wheel passes through so be mindful of the cyclists who seem to think everyone should move for them, other than the ignorant riders this is a top notch park.

This is a delightful park. The Rock Garden is really beautiful, especially in winter.

Beautiful park, something for everyone dogs, bike rides, walks, kids and just sitting and relaxing. Free parking and free toilets and a cafe (serving a limited menu at the moment). Grounds are wonderful Japanese gardens, large grassed areas, flowers and Two kids play areas, river walk is relaxing and quite.

Very beautiful scenery. Every angle is picturesque! I had the best time walking and taking the the view in, I even lost track of time.

What a great park...... I have lived on the fylde for 27 years and found this park last week..... how could I have missed it....

The go to place for every special occasion in Preston. A treat to the eyes in any season. If one is happy, sad, lonely, tired, frustrated, going through highs & lows, lost or in any frame of mind, they should head to the park as it has this calming and rejuvenating effect on the mind and soul. One can seek comfort and solace just by walking along the river Ribble. Like every public place, the park can get crowded on weekends as it is the star attraction in this town. The parks are part of the Preston guild wheel and hands down the most picturesque walk of the 21 mile journey.

Lovely park respectfully used by most. Nice walk along edge of river or just sit and enjoy. Park is a bit hilly but something for everyone. Cafe looks nice food is nice but be prepared to queue. Queued for hot food only yo be told to come back in 30 mins as they were too busy ( hardly anyone in, basically everyone wanted ice creams but it was the same queue. No organisation.) Park however lovely and toilets in cafe and separate block in Park.

Not the best season to visit the park but then still .. it was green and the flowers were everywhere. Very well maintained and specially loved the rolling hills and steep rocky climbs ... Area is huge, also has a small cafe to stop by. A must stop over, if you are in Preston a quick walk from Preston Railway Station

Lovely views of the river, excellent cafe very covid safe. Always a great time and lovely to cycle through on the guild wheel

Amazing park! Tons of space and plenty to see. Worth taking a picnic, football, frisbees and other games. Brilliant place

Walking on a regular basis & love featuring Avenham Park in my regular walks! Really love it and we enjoy it when we cycle the Guild Wheel also! Please note, best coconut hot chocolate, taste likes liquid Bounty!!!

If you are looking for peace of mind in pleasant environment. This the place for you!

Beautiful outdoor space, Japanese gardens, River with tree lined walk ways, large green areas and small playground and cafe. Just beautiful.

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.

It is a lovely, spacious and beautiful park. It is nicely maintained. Can easily spend a few hours here. A lot of space for picnics. Plenty of walking trails and cycle routes. Also, play areas for children. Recommended for all.

Large park just to the south of Preston centre, great for exploring. Even found a cannon from the battle of Sevastopol!

Lovely gardens and park. Peaceful and relaxing.

Lovely park. Not all entrances are accessible for wheelchairs and prams. We came in, or tried to, from East cliff side and it was bollards and steps so had to walk round. Very steep path all the way down the the pavilion but if you're pretty fit it's fine (I'm 8 and a half months pregnant). Lots of places to sit, lovely little cafe selling ice cream and barm cakes with bacon/sausage. Lovely stroll along the river ribble, wide flat paths perfect for pram, wheelchairs, runners and cyclists. Small park for the kids next to public toilets. They were clean enough but very dark. These were not wheelchair accessible and dis not have changing facilities for babies. We took a picnic and a football which was perfect. Lots of dog walkers and it was dog poo free (Lots of bins located around it). Unfortunately when we were there an idiot on a motorbike with a balaclava on riding close up to everyone including children. I'm guessing this is probably a one off and not a reflection of the park itself.

Great park. Did the Parkrun there end of April 2023.

Lovely views / scenery. I enjoy the health walk on Monday mornings, and have heard good things about a group on Wednesday mornings. Just found the 'katsu' tree in the Japanese gardens, that smells of toffee apples when the leaves turn orange in Autumn.

Right I'm my doorstep, so lucky to have such beautiful parks so close by. We'll worth a visit with kids,digs and family.

Gorgeous park with different walking paths and trails. There is a beautiful fountain area and staircase. It’s right near the train station and The Continental is within walking distance. Nice plan for a run, a picnic, or walking your dog.

Such a nice place for walking a dog, Peaceful and beautiful environment, small lake with ducks perched

An amazing park and grounds set in preston on the banks of the river ribble , a lovely cafe is situated in the park too .

Two beautiful Preston city parks that are linked to each other and beside the river Ribble. There's a Japanese rock garden, Swiss Cottage, play area, ornamental lake, cafe and toilet facilities. Both parks are really well maintained.

Stunning Preston Park on the River Ribble ..always worth a trip to spend time .. especially if you love capturing it's many photo opportunities

Love the park, find something new every time I visit

The park was beautiful lay out to walk around , and it had a lovely cafe for a stop to drink or eat
