RIVERSIDE WALKS

The river Croal runs straight through the southern tip of Queens Park and offers a nature trail from Spa Road car park all the way along to Chorley Street and the back of Bolton Lads and Girls Club.

Along the way are a few wood carvings which you may spot including a little person’s house and a carved wooden book.

There are four bridges that cross the river with the most notable being Dobson Bridge.

This sadly fell into a state of disrepair but was thankfully fully restored to it’s Victorian splendour thanks to a lottery grant.

Close to Dobson Bridge are also some of Queens Park’s smaller lakes which used to be very popular for anglers.
