Queen's Park

Our beautiful Queen's Park is a Green Flag award-winning park, created in Victorian times to provide an outside space where Victorian factory workers could enjoy a walk in the fresh air. Things have changed enormously since that time, and the park continues to adapt to suit lifestyles. Other Loughborough 'parks' mentioned include the Grand Union canal area, and the campus of Loughborough University. An article in the Leicester Mercury carries the full list of Leicestershire parks noted.

Enjoy some photographs of Queen's Park, taken during the past year.
