Thorne Memorial Park and the canal basin

A short town walk from Thorne Memorial Park down through the streets to the canal basin at Lock Hill and back along South Parade, taking in the moorings, the lock and the old wharf buildings. The park itself is level open grass with a play area and monuments; the cafe in it is currently closed with no reopening date published by the town council. Everything on the route is public open space or highway in the borough, so the Doncaster PSPO governs it: a lead on the footpaths around any pond, no dogs in the fenced play area, and pick up throughout. It is a sensible bad-weather alternative to Thorne Moors, which has no shelter at all.
