This view shows the path round the northern side of the park. Moor Park was created when Preston Council enclosed 100 acres of Preston Moor making it the first municipal park in the new industrial towns of north-west England. Improvements were carried out between 1862 and 1865 by garden designer Edward Milner using the labour of unemployed cotton workers.
