Wicksteed Park, Amusement park and Grade II listed garden in North Northamptonshire, England
The 147-acre parkland combines traditional outdoor rides, modern attractions, playgrounds, and extensive natural spaces around a central lake.
Charles Wicksteed established this recreational space in 1921 to provide accessible leisure facilities for local residents following World War I.
The park maintains its original mission of offering affordable entertainment through a combination of free access to grounds and paid attractions.
Visitors can enter the park without charge, but need to purchase wristbands starting from £20 to access rides and attractions.
The park contains the world's oldest functioning water chute ride, demonstrating the engineering innovation of early 20th-century entertainment.
