Enjoy our park life this spring
ENJOY the great outdoors in West Lancashire Parks this spring.
Spring has well and truly sprung in West Lancs and there is no better time to enjoy the great outdoors.
The borough council’s Parks and Countryside Ranger Service manages some lovely places to visit across the borough, and is organising great free events for people to enjoy this month.
Children aged between 5 and 12 can also discover new skills on two wheels at the free Bike Ability Level 1 course at Coronation Park in Ormskirk, on Saturday, April 14.
Whether you are learning to ride on two wheels for the first time or improving your balance and ability, then this session will suit you.
Learn to control your bike, signal, improve observation and learn techniques to prepare you for road cycling in the future.
Places must be booked in advance by ringing 01695 570258 or emailing anne.faulkner@westlancs.gov.uk
On Sunday, April 15 walkers can enjoy the Beacon Canal Loop. No need to book, just turn up.
The walk starts at 10am prompt and covers eight miles of varied terrain.
Meeting point is the visitor centre at Beacon Country Park.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at these events, except for the Junior Rangers events, which have separate arrangements.
