An update on the project to reopen the Princess Parade Crazy Golf course on Blackpool's North Shore.
Last year the teams at Blackpool Fulfilling Lives and Blackpool and the Fylde Street Angels joined forces to refresh and reopen the Princess Parade Crazy Golf course on Blackpool's North Shore.
The course has now received the green light from Blackpool Council and will be opening once the refurbishment work is complete and it is safe to do so.

The minigolf project is helping people in Blackpool by giving them the chance to work on the Crazy Golf course so it is playable and then staffing it for the season. It's a wonderful plan to give people the opportunity to receive work experience, while also bringing an historic, but disused, minigolf course back to life.

It's a pleasure to be a part of the Princess Parade Crazy Golf project and I've enjoyed meetings and calls with the teams at Blackpool Fulfilling Lives and Blackpool & the Fylde Street Angels, Blackpool Council and the Blackpool Civic Trust.

The different the volunteers have made to the course and the area has been massive. It's going to be brilliant when people are allowed to play the course once again.

A piece of seaside heritage and Blackpool minigolf history
The course has been there since the 1960s and we've quite quite a few old postcards showing the area. It's lovely to see the photos of it in its heyday.

The obstacles are pretty much unchanged since then and the work to refurbish the course has seen a number of holes repaired.
