Corporation Park, Grade II* listed Victorian park in Blackburn, England
Corporation Park extends across 44.5 acres of landscaped grounds, featuring ornamental fountains, formal gardens, lakes, and a cast iron Victorian conservatory built in 1900.
The park's grand opening ceremony in October 1857 drew 60,000 people, with Mayor William Pilkington leading the celebrations of this William Henderson designed space.
The Victorian-era triumphal archway at the southern entrance leads to the war memorial and remembrance garden, reflecting the local community's heritage across generations.
Multiple entrances provide access to walking trails, tennis courts, bowling greens, and a multi-use games area, with dedicated parking facilities near the gates.
The transformed bowling green now functions as a community garden with wheelchair-accessible vegetable beds, an orchard, and seasonal flower displays.
