New childrens playground added in 2025, a much needed facility for Castleford
Lots of trails to explore, miniature railway back to the beach. Cafe is reasonably priced.
It's ok, it's far better in summer though 🌞
Run down, uncared for, the place is used by the local drug addicts, needles have been found here,also lots of dogs get walked here and dog mess is left for you to walk in!!! such a shame as it used to be beautiful to look at and had fantastic playground equipment be cautious with young children... However since writing this post iv been informed that a group of people have been working together to improve this park so fingers crossed it will be a much better place before long.
