Queens Park is a public park in Burnley, Lancashire. It covers 11.2 hectares and was opened in 1893, making it Burnley's oldest park. Located approximately 1 km northeast of the town centre, attractions include a skate park, tennis courts, a children's play area, a bandstand, football pitches, putting greens, a cycle track and a cafe.In the second half of the nineteenth century Burnley's population increased almost five-fold and there was a pressing need for public open space so from 1872, the council opted to provide recreation grounds, with several opened around the town in the following years which proved to be popular. In 1881, John Hargreaves Scott, a former mayor of Burnley, died leaving £10,000 to be used upon his wife's death to create a public park for the town. Although Mrs Scott died in 1884, the trustees took some time to decide where to use the money, meaning that Scott Park would not be the town's first.In 1888, a local colliery owner, Sir John Hardy Thursby, donated the land, valued at £27,000 (equivalent to about £3 million in 2018), for the purpose of creating a public park in the town and the Burnley Corporation used its own money to lay-out the grounds. His company's Bank Hall Colliery was located to the north, and in the early years a tram road crossed the park to transport coal from Bee Hole and Rowley Collieries.The approximately triangular site is bounded by Queen Victoria Road to the northwest, Queen's Park Road to the northeast and Ormerod Road on the south. The original entrances are located at the corners. Those on Queen Victoria Road consist of a carriage entrance flanked by pedestrian entrances set between stone gate piers, all three gateways supporting ornamental iron gates. The central pair bear the coat of arms of the Borough of Burnley. The simple metal gates at the southeast corner were installed later, after coal mining had ceased under that area. An ornate drinking fountain was built to commemorate the gift. It consists of a circular sandstone bowl lined with rendered brick carried on octagonal piers with ball finials. It is surrounded by a canopy with four pairs of polished granite Ionic order columns on a stone plinth. On top of the canopy is a dome with an obelisk finial, and on the plinth are inscribed bronze panels.The extension northwards of Belvedere Road in the early 20th century separated the southwest tip of the park, containing a two-storey stone-built lodge, from the remainder.Queens Park is listed as a Grade II public park by English Heritage and has also been awarded the Green Flag Award for its high standards.

Burnley Wood is a district and former electoral ward of Burnley, Lancashire. In broad terms the area lies between Parliament Street in the north and Hufling Lane in the south, and from the railway in the west to Todmorden Road in the east. Based on historic definitions of the ward boundary, Burnley Wood could also be defined as including the more affluent areas around the Woodgrove Road area to the east of Todmorden Road, Brooklands Road to the south and the area north of Parliament Street as far as the River Calder. Historically the district was located in the parish and township of Habergham Eaves, separated from the adjacent Burnley township, later Borough by the Calder before being incorporated into the County Borough of Burnley in 1894.

The electricity station was owned and operated by Burnley Corporation prior to the nationalisation of the British electricity industry in 1948.

Thompson Park is a formal Edwardian park in Burnley, Lancashire. It was opened to the public in 1930. Located near the town centre, features include a boating lake, paddling pool, Italian gardens and a playground. Largely ornamental by design, the park contains a large number of flower beds and a rose garden. Dogs are banned from entering the park.The land that the park occupies was part of the estate of Bank Hall. Historically known as Bank Top, it was acquired by a colliery-owner, the Rev. John Hargreaves, who had built the hall on Colne Road by 1796. Later inherited by Charlotte Anne Hargreaves, it became the home of herself and her husband, General Sir James Yorke Scarlett, a hero of the Battle of Balaclava. As the couple produced no children, the hall and shares in the executors of John Hargreaves' company passed to Charlotte's sister, Eleanor Mary, who was married to the Rev. William Thursby, and thus came under the control of the Thursby family. The company's Bank Hall Colliery, the town's largest and deepest coal mine, was developed from 1865 on land to the northeast of the park.The lands of the estate gradually diminished as the town expanded. In 1878 Godley Lane, which curved along the southwest boundary, was closed to be replaced by the straight Ormerod Road. In 1888, Sir John Hardy Thursby donated 11.2 hectares (28 acres) to the town to create Queens Park, which lies to the east. The town's education committee constructed a building at the south end to house the technical, art and girls high schools, which opened in 1909. John's son, Sir J O S Thursby, also gave land to the town, lying between Bank Hall and Burnley Central railway station which opened as Thursby Gardens in 1910. The hall itself was sold in 1916, becoming a maternity hospital.In 1920, a local cotton mill owner, James Witham Thompson, bequeathed £50,000 to the council to build a public park (equivalent to about £1.9 million in 2018). The council obtained the option to purchase the land from Sir J O S Thursby, completing the transaction in October 1922. Construction work began in 1928 and the official opening took place on 16 July 1930.The River Brun runs through the park, with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal forming its eastern boundary. The double-arched Sandy Holme Aqueduct carries the canal over the river at the park's northern tip. The land on the south-east of the river was previously farmland, a plantation, and allotments, with the area on the other bank formerly part of the grounds of the hall. A weir was constructed to provide a water supply to the approximately 1.2-hectare (3.0-acre) boating lake and a paddling pool. Two bridges were built over the river and an ornamental bridge over the lake. A rose garden, herbaceous garden and Italian garden were laid-out, and a 22-metre (72 ft) by 8.4-metre (28 ft) conservatory was erected for exotic plants. Additional buildings included a boathouse, a tea-room pavilion and a lodge house, with much of the work done by the unemployed under the supervision of the council.The park also contains a memorial, erected shortly after it opened, commemorating Dr James Mackenzie, a pioneering Scottish cardiologist who spent over 25 years as a general practitioner in the town. The memorial consists of a bronze bust by L. F. Roslyn set in a pink granite niche in a sandstone wall with stepped sides and top. The niche is round-headed with a bronze garland around the top, and with the life-sized bust standing on an inscribed pedestal.During World War II the park was used for growing vegetables and the only bomb to fall on Burnley landed near the conservatory on 27 October 1940. In the 1970s an open air school on the northern side of the park was demolished and the park expanded into the area.In 2017, the local council received a grant of £861,000 towards the cost of restoring the park and celebrating its heritage. Work began in the August of that year.Thompson Park is listed as a Grade II public park by English Heritage and has also been awarded the Green Flag Award for its high standards.
