Happy Mount Park

Ages: 4 to 8
Where: Morecambe, Lancashire
Weather: Mostly outdoors
Booking: Just turn up

Morecambe's classic seaside park: splash park, trampolines, adventure golf, a miniature railway and flower beds, run with the unhurried confidence of somewhere that has been doing this since the 1920s. The park itself is free and open daily from 8.30am to dusk.

The splash park is run by the council and opens at weekends in term time from May, plus selected days in the school holidays, weather permitting. The trampolines and the roundabout are £2 a go from April to October, the pirate-themed adventure golf is open all year, and the cafe opens 10 to 4. Finish on the prom with an ice cream and the Eric Morecambe statue.

Know before you go

The splash park opens at weekends in term time from May, plus selected days in the school holidays, and only when the weather allows. Check on the day before you promise it.
