"Voted the best park in the UK in 2019, the 390-acre Stanley Park is a Blackpool landmark with a blend of landscape design, historical buildings, gardens and activities, with an abundance of wildlife, nature trails and horticultural gems. The expansive green space is home to some Italian gardens, water fountains, statues, rose gardens and a dedicated Remembrance Garden.

14 Best Things to Do in Blackpool (Lancashire, England
"A respite from Blackpool’s glossy entertainment and arcades, the resort’s largest park is in 260 acres, a mile east of the promenade. The man behind the park’s design in the 1920s was the landscape architect Thomas Mawson, and he was responsible for a couple of the buildings. The most striking is the cafe, in an Art Deco style and overlooking the Italian Garden, adorned with statues (see the two Medici lions) and a beautiful marble fountain."
