A good, spacious, children's playpark next to a river and very close to the city centre and Ripon's main attraction, the Cathedral! Plenty of ducks to feed... the river is not fenced off so you will need to keep an eye on your toddlers 😊
Beautyful Playground. Great place for bring your children
Nice park, just out of the way enough so as not to be over crowded. There is plenty of slides, swings, climbing frames and the usual activities to keep the kids (big and small) happy for an hour or so. The river Skell runs right along the bottom of the park and ducks can usually be found floating around by the weir. The park has always been clean every time we have visited and I have never witnessed groups of youths hanging about although we've never been after dark so I dont know what happens in the park during the night. Good park, good location
Fun place lovely setting next to the river with loads of ducks a nice clean park not very accessible and aimed at 5 upwards I would think.
Great little playground. Very close to the river though. Be careful with young children.
