Great little outdoor space. It has lots of paths between open and sheltered spaces, picnic benches with spaces for BBQs and beautiful sculptures dotted around. Nice short walk for anyone with puppies that are yet to progress to needing more exercise.

A community space run by Selby Community Trust but actually maintained by the council!! It's supposed to have a dog friendly run area that is not secure. The trust do not encourage dogs to use larger area. But few people other than dog owners appreciate the space. However space has been allocated for a mining memorial. Benches and small car park.
