About Roe Lee Park
Roe Lee Park is a 17-acre park in the Roe Lee area of Blackburn, around two miles from the town centre on the A666 Whalley New Road towards Brownhill and Clitheroe. It is a popular family destination that combines equipped play with a mix of recreational and natural features. The children's playground has been updated with new rides, including active play equipment and an educational board designed to help children express how they feel and learn key words. Alongside the play area, the park offers two multi-use games areas, a paddling pond, a skate park, a woodland walk, a dell area, bowling greens and a community pavilion, giving families and local residents a wide choice of activities in one place. The varied layout means there is something for different ages, from toddlers using the play equipment to older children enjoying the skate park and games areas. Managed by Blackburn with Darwen Council, Roe Lee Park is free to enter and functions as an important neighbourhood green space, balancing active recreation with quieter woodland and green areas for walking and relaxation.
