About Griffin Park
Griffin Park is a neighbourhood green space in the Mill Hill area of Blackburn with Darwen, near the historic Griffin Lodge and the local St Mark's community club. The park provides a local play area with children's equipment such as swings, slides and climbing apparatus, giving families in the surrounding streets an accessible place for outdoor play close to home. Alongside the playground there is open grassed space where children can ride bikes and run around, supporting informal games and everyday recreation. As a smaller urban park rather than a large destination country park, Griffin Park's main role is as a convenient local amenity for the residential community around Mill Hill. It takes its name from the nearby Griffin Lodge, part of the area's heritage, and the entrance to the park is itself a recognised historic structure. Managed by Blackburn with Darwen Council, Griffin Park is free to enter and open to the public, serving as a practical, walkable green space for local families and children in this part of Blackburn.
