About the parks:
Peel Hall Park
Peel Hall Park was opened in August 1986 and was one of a number of parks created throughout Warrington by the New Town Development Corporation. Access to the park can be gained through the distinctive “ranch-style” gates off Blackbrook Avenue and Grasmere Avenue. Woodland paths, meadows, several ponds and a multisport area provide a variety of habitats for wildlife and interest for all the family. Horse riders are welcome to ride in Peel Hall Park, keeping to the sign-posted wood-chip path. Access to the bridleway is off Radley Lane. Peel Hall Park is linked by footpaths and open spaces to the parks of Cinnamon Brow and by public footpath to the wider countryside around Winwick and Croft.
Enfield Park
Enfield Park is located within the residential development of Cinnamon Brow. The main features of the park include a children's play area, a kickabout pitch and a pond. The footpath through the park is an attractive tree lined walk. Bushy areas provide a habitat for many species of birds, such as bullfinch, and for mammals including hedgehogs.
Parkfields Park
Parkfields Park has been designed to catch the imagination by the inclusion of standing stones, stone circles, longbarrows and a turf maze. Standing stones have long fascinated people because of their association with ancient tribes. Longbarrows were built as graves by our bronze age ancestors.
