Worden Park is very popular with dog walkers. Dogs are welcomed throughout the park and there are bins around the park for disposing of dog litter. There is also a dog washing shower situated next to the main parking area. The large expanse of parkland makes it very appealing for dog walkers and the wooded area to the south of the park is a very popular walking spot for walkers and dog walkers alike. The Shaw Brook, a tributary of the River Lostock runs through the wooded area and is a safe place for dogs to swim.

Bonfire night.

Each year on or around the 5th of November, Worden Park plays host to one of the lancashires largest gatherings of Guy Fawkes revellers. A huge bonfire, spectacular firework display and a large fair can be enjoyed by all. The local 'Round Table' group organise the event and proceeds are used for charitable and local good causes.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    ““It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
