Nestled in the heart of Wakefield, Pugneys Country Park is a hidden gem that offers a perfect escape for families seeking a day of outdoor adventure and relaxation. With its picturesque lakes, lush green spaces, and a wide range of activities for all ages.
Pugneys Country Park is a 250-acre park that used to be an open-cast mine. It was also a sand and gravel quarry before it was turned into a country park in 1985, but is ready for you to explore with the kids today! This scenic and expansive park has 2 beautifully clear lakes and a modern water sports centre which is open all year and free to visit. You can hire equipment or bring your own craft to use on the larger lake, whilst the smaller lake is a nature reserve and permits no entry to the waters.
The park offers a wide range of recreational activities and water sports for all ages. From boating and fishing on the lake to cycling and walking trails, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Families can also make use of the playgrounds and open spaces for games and relaxation.
Pugneys boasts stunning natural beauty, with its picturesque lake surrounded by lush greenery. Whether you're taking a leisurely family stroll or enjoying a picnic, we think it's a lovely place to visit.
Take a lakeside train ride on selected weekends. Kids will love to chug, chug along on this cute miniature train with Pugneys Light Railway.
