Description

Wyre Vale Park has 134 homes covering 13 acres, each home comes with full mains service and is located 10 minutes away from the market town Garstang with facilities right at your doorstep. 

The pet-friendly Wyre Park is very spacious with large garden areas, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and trees to create a tranquil environment. The retirement park has a laidback countryside feel with recreational activities and outdoors to explore if you love hiking and long walks. 

The residential park is a thriving community of retirees with a positive attitude and a sense of togetherness. Living at Wyre Vale Park will make you feel like you are part of a large family with lots of activities to do together. For example, ladies in the park formed the Garstang Calendar Girls, a group of ladies who got together and organized activities. They organized several activities like a gala day held on Acresfield and a fundraiser for Derian House Children Hospice. The ladies also produced their own calendar, which depicted life in the park. It sold more than 500 copies. The ladies have raised thousands of pounds for charities in the area. 

The Acresfield Health Club & Spa

The Acresfield Health Club & Spa, which opened in 2014, has become the centre of attraction of the park. The club has a sauna, swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym and steam room. The club also has a multi-purpose hall for indoor sports like table tennis and badminton.  

The Bistro and the Hair Studio and Spa are ideal for having coffee with friends. Also, the club hosts a variety of social events all year round that is suitable for all, which you are welcome to attend. The goal is to create an environment where you can enjoy an active, healthy retirement, complementing an already caring community. One of the benefits of being a Wyre Vale Park homeowner is that you receive membership discounts to the club.

December 2014; and
