Avenham Park, Victorian park in Preston, United Kingdom
The park spreads across sloping grounds from the city center toward the River Ribble, featuring wide lawns, woodland paths, and ornamental gardens.
The municipal government constructed this Grade II listed park during the 1860s cotton famine to provide employment for local textile workers.
The Japanese Rock Garden, installed in the 1930s, contains ornamental plants and stands as a central feature of the park's landscape design.
The Avenham Pavilion provides year-round refreshments and indoor facilities, with multiple entrances connecting the park to Preston's center and riverside paths.
Every Easter Monday since Victorian times, children gather on the grassy slopes to participate in the traditional egg rolling celebration.
