Scott Park is a public park in Burnley, Lancashire. It covers 7.9 hectares (20 acres) and was opened in 1895. Located south of the town centre, attractions include tennis courts, a children's play area, a bandstand, and bowling greens.In the second half of the nineteenth century Burnley's population increased almost five-fold and there was a pressing need for public open space so the council opted to provide recreation grounds with the first of these, Healey Heights located to the west of the park, acquired in 1872.
