Big playground with zip lines, climbing ropes and slides. Wider park is well paved so good for kids on bikes/ scooters and has public toilets. Its near a not so busy council car park. It's a shame the car parking machine is confusing as to whether you're on resident or visitor rate, so you're left with "parking ticket anxiety!
We loved it here. I went with my 3 year old. There's a little car park, drive down passed the river, which is reasonably priced for York. There are 2 playgrounds, a pond, table tennis, tennis court, basketball court, a little garden to explore. We only had time for an hour but will be back for a longer visit.
Had a great time with our 2 year old
It is a great place for children to play! Play ground is well care and clean.there are tables and benches to sit and watch the children and I love it is fence off so children cant easily wander off.
This was the go to place of my childhood, beautiful gardens and lots of games to play with friends and family alike , now the gardens are full of weeds and unkempt and the favourite game to play is goose Pooh hopscotch,PLEASE STOP FEEDING THESE NON NATIVE SPECIES. YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEMISE OF THE PLACE !!!
