Could you spare 1-2 hours on Saturday mornings to support our new local Parkrun at the Blue Lagoon?

A group of local residents are aiming to get a Parkrun off the ground in 2025 and are seeking like-minded local people to join the volunteering team.

For more information, get in touch via the Facebook group ‘Keeping the Blue Lagoon Beautiful’ to find out more.

About the Blue Lagoon Local Nature Reserve

The Blue Lagoon is a former brick works site that opened in 1929. The clay pits on the site flooded in 1947, and later they were filled and landscaped. The site officially opened in 1994 to the public.

The Blue Lagoon covers 116 acres and is rich in wildlife. You might see:  Badgers  Bats  Grass snakes  Great crested newts  butterflies, damselflies and dragonflies  And over a dozen bird species.

There is constant footfall at The Blue Lagoon from a number of users including dog walkers, divers, open water swimmers and those who just want some time out and enjoy the fauna and flora. There are some issues with littering especially over the summer months so local residents hold regular litter picks and walks around the nature reserve.
