We do love coming here. The woods are beautiful, peaceful yet simple as given by nature and different to other ones in York (somewhat more relaxing and catching ) Clean throughout and large enough for walk and to play. Feels safe to -in the day . Playground has plenty of shades and play equipments-although not many or newish (possibly due for update)but they are good enough for keeping kids busy.l I.e.zipline. To the front there is also a basketball area and other play equipment just opposite. A football area to the main playground . Benches and beautiful flowers . .Parking spaces all around the park -to the entrances . There are toilets (which unfortunately isn't very nice/hygienic) and a small 'cafe shop 'with drink,snacks etc at a very good prices ( hygiene I'm not too.sure of) In overall ,a pleasant place to go.
Great park , has toilets and a little cafe place where you can buy a drink / ice cream.
A gorgeous oasis but not just a council park. Once a garden for a mansion it's now a dog friendly place. Woodland areas, children play area, cafe bowls and shady spots. Lots of benches. Really well kept.
What a great surprise it was finding a windmill on a day trip out. Will be going back when it's open to visit ☺️ The park has plenty to see and lots of seating areas for picnics in the summer months. Victoria is looking at a bit worse for were, though .
A lovely park with lots of interesting pathways. Great for dogs too. Super colours in autumn and the walkway would be awesome in summer as it is covered in Wisteria
