About Great Lever Park
Great Lever Park is a traditional district park on Green Lane in the Great Lever area of Bolton, managed by Bolton Council as a free, public space for the surrounding community. It follows the familiar pattern of Bolton's neighbourhood parks, combining a children's playground with sport and open ground for everyday recreation. The play area is equipped with a variety of play equipment that the council describes as suitable for all ages, so it can be enjoyed by younger toddlers and older children alike. For active play beyond the playground, the park has a multi-use games area fitted with football nets and a basketball hoop, giving local young people somewhere to kick a ball or shoot hoops. A bowling green provides for crown green bowls, a popular pastime in the area. As a district park, Great Lever Park is intended mainly for local, informal use rather than as a large visitor attraction, offering a handy neighbourhood green space with facilities for a range of ages. There is no charge to enter or use the park. Its location on Green Lane makes it easily reachable for families living in Great Lever and the southern parts of Bolton. Entry is free.
