About Happy Mount Park

A Rich History in the Heart of Morecambe

Located on the beautiful coastline of Morecambe, Happy Mount Park has been a beloved destination for families, locals, and visitors for nearly a century. Known today for its vibrant play areas, splash park, gardens, and traditional attractions, the park has a fascinating history that continues to shape its charm and appeal.

A Brief History of Happy Mount Park

Happy Mount Park officially opened to the public in 1926, at a time when Morecambe was thriving as a popular seaside resort. Designed to provide a relaxing yet entertaining escape, the park quickly became a favourite spot for families seeking fresh air, leisure, and beautiful surroundings.

Originally, Happy Mount Park was laid out as a classic Victorian-style garden, complete with elegant walkways, ornamental flower beds, and manicured lawns. Over the decades, the park expanded its facilities, introducing much-loved features such as the Japanese Garden, miniature railway, adventure play areas, and traditional fairground rides like swing boats and trampolines.

In the mid-20th century, Happy Mount Park became famous for its vibrant summer entertainment programme, offering concerts, shows, and family activities that attracted visitors from across Lancashire and beyond. Many residents still fondly remember open-air performances, bandstand concerts, and sunny afternoons spent enjoying everything the park had to offer.

Today, Happy Mount Park continues to evolve while celebrating its rich heritage. The park maintains its historic gardens and iconic features — like the beautifully restored Japanese Garden and the original wrought iron entrance gates — while adding new family attractions such as the Splash Park, adventure golf, and soft play areas to meet the needs of modern visitors.

A Park for Everyone

Happy Mount Park remains at the heart of the Morecambe community. It’s a place where memories are made — whether it’s riding the mini train, splashing in the fountains, playing a round of mini golf, or simply enjoying a quiet walk among the trees.

With a perfect blend of history, nature, and family-friendly fun, Happy Mount Park is proud to continue welcoming generations of visitors to one of Morecambe’s most iconic attractions.
