Wiggly Park is a British BBC children's television animated cartoon which was produced in 1997 and shown in 1998. Originally a children's radio programme on BBC Radio 5, the characters were voiced by British actors Andrew Sachs and Kate Sachs.

The original radio show was broadcast as a segment in the weekday morning children's programme '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' presented by 'Ian' on BBC Radio 5.

The show revolved around the adventures of six friends in their home, a large town park.The characters included an earthworm named E.W., a slug named Nifty (who was characterised as being rather slow and a bit dim), a snail called Shelly, (who was French and female) Moggy the caterpillar who was very greedy, Buzz the bee, and a tortoise named Thera who was very old.
