About Thatto Heath Park
Thatto Heath Park serves the local community in St Helens as a recreation area for informal play, relaxation and exercise, and is managed by St Helens Borough Council. At its heart are children's play areas, making it a handy neighbourhood spot for families, with ball courts nearby for older children wanting a kickabout or a game of basketball. Benches are dotted around for carers and for anyone who wants to sit and watch, and there is car parking for those arriving by vehicle. One of the park's nicest features is its connection to the wider green network: it adjoins the Ravenhead Greenway, a green corridor for wildlife that links open spaces from Thatto Heath all the way to Sankey Valley Park, so a visit can easily be combined with a longer walk or cycle away from traffic. As a free, open-access local park, Thatto Heath Park is well suited to everyday outings - a quick play after school, a weekend morning on the swings, or a stroll along the greenway. Its straightforward mix of play, sport and walking routes makes it a dependable choice for families living in and around Thatto Heath.
