Whisby Nature Park

About this park

Whisby Nature Park, near Lincoln, is a truly remarkable place, transformed from barren gravel pits into a thriving wildlife haven. It boasts a beautiful landscape filled with diverse habitats, offering an array of walks and trails for visitors to explore and enjoy the natural beauty. The park is managed with a strong focus on conservation, allowing both wildlife and people to coexist harmoniously. For dog owners, Whisby Nature Park offers clear guidelines to ensure a pleasant and safe experience for everyone. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a short lead throughout most of the park. However, there's a special allowance for dogs to be walked off-lead around Thorpe Lake, providing a great opportunity for them to stretch their legs and enjoy some freedom. Please note that dogs are not permitted to swim in any of the lakes due to the presence of toxic algae, which can be dangerous, and flea treatments are harmful to wildlife. The park is well-equipped with amenities for visitors. The Natural World Centre offers a cafe, shop, toilets (including disabled and baby changing facilities), and even indoor and outdoor adventure play areas for children. Mobility scooters are available for hire to ensure accessibility for all. The car park has a charge, which varies seasonally, but disabled badge holders can park for free. These facilities make Whisby Nature Park a comprehensive destination for a day out. Whisby Nature Park is a fantastic spot for a dog walk, offering a blend of natural beauty, varied trails, and essential facilities. While respecting the lead rules and swimming restrictions, you and your canine companion can enjoy the tranquil surroundings and the wealth of wildlife that calls this regenerated landscape home. Remember to check the opening times for the Natural World Centre and car park closure times before your visit to make the most of your day.
