Stanley Park, Blackpool - Location

Location

Stanley Park is surrounded on all sides by roads named North Park Drive, South Park Drive, East Park Drive and West Park Drive. The residential area immediately surrounding the park is one of the more affluent parts of Blackpool and most of the houses are relatively large. Although the park is normally considered to be bounded by the Park Drives, the golf course actually continues on the far side of East Park Drive and the Salisbury Woodland Gardens whose stream feeds the park's lake is also in this location. Blackpool Zoo and Blackpool Victoria hospital are to the east of the park; the zoo in particular is easily accessible from the park's main paths. The Zoo was constructed on the site of the 1929-1947 Stanley Park Aerodrome.
