Would I recommend it? Yes! Not only is there fields to walk across, there are woods, with a river, ponds, a childrens play area, and a minature railway.

Positives Pleanty of different ways to walk. Stick to the paths, or cross the fields.
A fair amount of benches. A decent(ish) amount of dog-poo bins too!
Dogs can go anywhere, on or off lead!

Negatives It can become quite busy at weekends and during nice weather, and also during 'football season', as local matches are played on the (11) football fields.
Car park also gets full quickly!

i used to sit on there watching the lads play football when i was at runshaw college...it was only across the road!!! such a nice park...has a theater and cafe as well...lovely maze towards the back!!!

Its is a lovely park!!we used to take a picnic in summer and sit there for ages letting the dogs run around in the lbng grass past the public bits and footie pitches.

Its a brilliant place to walk my dogs. I live next to it. LOL
