Thompson Park, Grade II listed park in Burnley, England
Thompson Park spans across landscaped areas featuring a central boating lake, Italian gardens, children's playgrounds, and ornamental flower displays near Burnley's center.
The National Heritage designated Thompson Park as a Grade II listed park after its official inauguration on July 16, 1930, preserving its Edwardian design.
The Burnley and Pendle Miniature Railway Society maintains a miniature train circuit, offering rides to visitors throughout the annual calendar.
The park provides parking facilities accessible via Colne Road, with payment options through the MIPERMIT app or text message system at £2.50 per day.
A dedicated boathouse offers four different water vessel options, including single kayaks and Canadian canoes for 25-minute rentals on the central lake.
