Nene Park is a large area of parkland to the west of Peterborough and is the region’s favourite place to get outdoors and enjoy nature. Providing a permanent haven for heritage and wildlife and a wide choice of recreational activities for the people of Peterborough and the wider community.

Woodlands, meadows, lakes, the River Nene and miles of paths and trails make Nene Park a lovely place to walk.

Most of the paths in the central area of Ferry Meadows and at Orton Mere, Thorpe Meadows and Woodston Reach are surfaced and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
