Parks, leisure and the arts Orienteering at Heaton Park

Orienteering at Heaton Park offers many benefits, especially discovering new places. But its real attraction is that it is fun!

It is a joy to walk and run through forests and fields. Armed with a compass and a map, competitors must use their navigational skills to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed. You can use our orienteering course that has seven different difficulty levels.
