Burnden Park was the former home of Bolton Wanderers. They played their last game here in 1997 against Charlton Athletic before moving to the University of Bolton Stadium at Middlebrook.
The stadium has now been demolished and replaced by a retail park. Business based here include ASDA, DW Fitness First, Johnson’s The Cleaners, Subway, Barnardo’s, B&M, Home Bargains, and Abakhan.
The biggest store is ASDA superstore. In addition to offering an extensive range of grocery products it also sells clothes, toys, cards, books, games and DVDs. There’s also a pharmacy, café, and a photo department.
Johnson’s the Cleaners offers dry cleaning, laundry, and laundry services. Shoe repairs, curtain cleaning, and key cutting services are also available.
Home Bargains is a discount store offering a wide range of branded products at competitive prices. Their product range includes groceries, sweets and snacks, medicines, health and beauty products, drinks and alcohol, stationery, bedding, kitchenware, cleaning products, toys and games, seasonal products, and babywear.
Abakhan sells knitting products, fabric, sewing patterns, and haberdashery.
Burnden Park offers plenty of free car parking. Cash machines can be found outside ASDA.
Details were last checked in June 2020. Things change so check with individual store websites before travelling.
Prefer the ASDA here to the one at Astley Bridge. It’s a lot more modern, the aisles are bigger, and parking is a lot better.
