Photos from the scene show at least two caravans, a large van with a pickup back, a motorhome, and multiple 4x4 cars.

All vehicles are parked on the grass in the park, close to the children’s play area.

It is unknown for how long the travellers plan on staying at the park. Blackpool Council and Lancashire Police have been approached for comment by the Gazette.
