About Howley Park
Howley Park is a small neighbourhood park in the Howley area of Warrington, just east of the town centre and close to the River Mersey. Classified as a public park by Warrington Borough Council and shown on Ordnance Survey greenspace mapping, it is best known for its bright, cheerful children's play area, which is decorated with a circus theme and extensive colourful floor markings. The playground packs a varied range of equipment into a compact space, including two climbing frames, swings, ride-on pieces, a spinning cup and a net climbing feature, together with a little agility course for more active play. Its position in a built-up residential district makes it a handy local spot for families, and roadside parking is available on Wellington Street alongside the park, close to a nearby supermarket. The park is free to enter and offers a welcoming, low-key environment for younger children, complementing the larger destination parks elsewhere in Warrington.
