Heaton Park boating lake - dates and how much it costs to hire a rowing boat

Row, row, row your boat gently... around Heaton Park boating lake.

The boats have been a staple of the park from more than 100 years and still to this day, people can't help but grab some oars and take to the gentle water.

The picturesque lake is also overlooked by the Lakeside Café so whether you'd prefer to stay dry lakeside or refuel after a spin in a boat you can pop in and see what delicacies are on offer.

There's plenty of other things to do at the park, with it being the biggest park in the North West, from visiting the animal farm to partaking in a round of golf on the 18-hole golf course.

But if you're looking for something a little different and for a fun way to relax in the coming months, look no further than the boating lake.

The rowing boats are available to hire during the summer months - April to September from 12 noon to 4pm.

It costs £8.50 for up to four people for a 45-minute session. Those under-16 must be accompanied by an adult.
