Enjoy this green space in the heart of Thornton, the adjoining fields of King Georges and Church Road, with plenty to offer people of all ages with a children’s play area, an outdoor fitness and play equipment trail, sport pitches and areas to walk. Relax on the seating and picnic tables or take a wander on the path through the woodland and spot the woodland bulbs and wildflowers in the springtime.
As part of the Thornton Flood Risk Resilience Project Wyre Council has teamed up with Wyre Rivers Trust to restore Royles Brook, which runs through the site. New areas of wetland and woodland habitats have been created. This restoration will also reduce flood risk by reconnecting the Brook with the floodplain, so water can be stored during storms and slowly released back into the brook as waters recede. For more information see Wyre Rivers Trust Projects | Wyre Rivers Trust
There are two bowling greens which are played on by Ashdell Bowling Club but are also available for public use.
