perfect for a small local park , kids play area and nice size grassed area with a good sized pathway for a walk round
Nice park for a quick play with the kids grass areas for chilling and main park is fenced off so it's pretty safe
Known locally as "The Rocket Park", this place is a small but perfectly formed treat. Grassy areas, mature trees, pretty views and a variety of children's play equipment pieces, make this place a lovely location to spend your sunshine hours. Some roadside parking is available. There are no toilets, or refreshments available at this park.
A lovely little park. A children's play area. Parking outside the gated entrance and room for dogs to have a run. Unfortunately not all owners pick up dog deposits which does spoil things a bit
Rating an open grassy area surrounded by trees feels strange, especially one which was a huge part of childhood during the 70s and 80s. Farsley Rec remains largely unchanged, the children's play area is modern, enclosed and a grand spot to spend quality time with young ones. Plenty of open areas for ball sports and the like. A path runs around the whole area, great for cycling, scootering or just plain meandering. The main Calverley Lane entrance is very accessible for pushchairs, buggies, wheelchairs. There are no toilets though, lest squatting behind a tree appeals... Clearly, dog walkers use the Rec frequently, most seem to clean up any dog eggs dropped by their pets. Not worth a trip out, however if you're local, you'd be daft not to make use of the space.
