About The Park

Park History

Stanley Park was commissioned to be built in 1921 by landscape architects Thomas Mawson & Sons and was offically opened on the 2nd October 1926 by Sir George Edward Villers Stanley, after whom the park was named.

Park Features
Stanley Park covers approximately 2 and a half miles and includes 96 acres of golf courses and 22 acres of lake.

The park provides natural habitats for a variety of wildlife and flora and there are numerous recreational facilities to enjoy which were included into the park's original landscape design, such as the Cafe, Conservatories, Italian Garden and Rose Garden.
