Mesnes Park, Grade II listed public park in central Wigan, England.
The park features formal gardens, a restored Victorian pavilion, a bandstand, the Coalbrookdale Fountain, and a series of landscaped terraces with Dalton steps.
A Heritage Lottery funded restoration program of £6.1 million in 2013 returned the park to its original Victorian design, including seven Grade II listed structures.
Local tradition centers on the statue of Sir Francis Sharp Powell, where generations of residents have worn down the bronze shoe through regular touching.
Frederick's Ice Cream Parlour operates inside the pavilion building, which includes two floors of seating and spaces available for private functions.
The restored Pulham waterfall incorporates specialized materials and techniques from the Victorian era, maintaining the original water feature design.
