Shibden Park Boating Lake

12/03/2026

A big thank you to our manager Abi and David from the RSPCA for safely capturing and checking on an injured Canada goose. The bird has now been taken to be seen by the vets this morning, and we’re hopeful for a positive outcome. We’ll keep everyone updated as we hear more about its progress. Thank you to everyone who showed concern and care for the goose. It really means a lot to see the community looking out for local wildlife.

We've taken the decision not to open the boating lake today due to the extreme weather. It would be unfair to ask our staff to work in these conditions with no shelter from the sun. We will be back open tomorrow at 10am.

📢 🦢 SWAN UPDATE 🦢 📢

🥚 Lucy, the Swan is sitting on SIX eggs!! Such great news considering she flew away not too long ago 🥚

Some straw has been provided for her and the other birds to use for their nests - let's keep our fingers crossed we have more cygnets on the lake this year 🦢
