Queens Park, Grade II listed public park in Burnley, United Kingdom.
Queens Park is a Grade II listed public park in northeast Burnley featuring landscaped grounds, ornamental flower beds, urban trees, and sculptures throughout its expanse. The grounds also contain sports facilities and recreational amenities distributed across the site.
The park opened in 1893 following a land donation by Sir John Hardy Thursby, establishing the first public park in Burnley at that time. This gift marked a turning point in how the town developed its public spaces for residents.
The Victorian bandstand and decorative drinking fountain display architectural features that connect this space to 19th-century public design. These structures remain visible today and shape how visitors experience the grounds.
The park includes tennis courts, football pitches, a bowling green, a skate park, a basketball court, and a children's play area available throughout the year. Visitors can explore different zones depending on their interests and time of day for a more enjoyable visit.
A two-story stone lodge still stands at the southwest corner where Belvedere Road once met the park boundary. This remnant reveals how the park's edges have shifted over generations.
