Great park. Unfortunately they lock gate open so if you are scared of dogs they can get in which seems a bit backwards to put a gate on locked open. But if you have kids and dogs then least every one is allowed in 😁
Nice park in theory, not much for younger children, horrible teenage girls not letting my son play. Basically new earswick trying to be posh.
Our daughter loves this park as there are so many different areas for her to wonder about. There is a section for older kids and a separate play area for the younger ones. Also a really big basketball court which is very popular which some families and their kids. The lake is right next door which is lovely and is always a good place to chill and watch the swans and the local heron!
It was VERY busy considering covid rules are supposed to be followed. We couldn't play on the football pitch because about 20 people all playing together... disappointing for our grandson. But still a beautiful place.
Brilliant to keep kids entertained for hours but closes a bit early there is a football pitch /basketball court, a park and a park for younger ones there is a ping pong table and an area to sit just outside the park there is a small body of water with ducks and stuff in
