Stanney Fields Park
Stanney Fields Park has been awarded Green Flag status, a prestigious award which is the national benchmark for parks and open spaces. This indicates that the park has fulfilled the judging criteria and is a safe, welcoming and well maintained park offering a range of recreational and leisure opportunities for people of all ages.
Set in the heart of Neston town centre, the park is easily accessible by its five entrance points making it a great place for relaxing; playing sport; walking your dog and family picnics. It has its own on site gardener, an active Friends group and a regular programme of events including sports coaching sessions, annual fun day and dog show.
The dell is planted with shrubs and specimen trees. Stanney Brook which runs through the dell adds to the relaxing atmosphere of this area of the park.
