Reviews
Darley Park is an absolute gem for dog owners! My tiny girl had an absolute blast paddling in the river. It's shallow and gentle enough for them to safely splash around.nThe park is also filled with mature trees, offering plenty of shade on warmer days, and my dog was endlessly entertained by the many squirrels darting about.nIt's really convenient having toilets on site and the cafe is a lovely bonus for grabbing a drink.nThe river itself is truly beautiful, adding to the park's overall charm.nHowever, be warned, this park is incredibly popular, and for good reason! It gets very busy, especially on weekends and sunny afternoons. Finding a parking spot can be a real challenge, so arriving early is definitely recommended.nDespite the crowds and parking situation, the joy my dog gets from the river and the lovely surroundings and the handy facilities! make Darley Park a lovely spot to visit. Just plan ahead!
A beautiful Park on the very edge of Derby City Centre, and easily accessible by foot from the ring road, as well as some limited car parking at two areas if you're early enough.nThere's a wonderful footpath along the western edge of the river Derwent which splits off towards the cricket pitch. There is a wonderful seated patio area with a shop selling ice cream cornets and a few children's play area's as well.nThe main park is a beautifully manicured grass area with shaded area's of mature trees in which to take shade under during hot sunny weather .
Great park with wide open spaces that are perfect for walking and very dog-friendly too. There’s always something going on, from cricket and football to a rock climbing facility we spotted during our visit.nnThere are some lovely pubs nearby and a café right at the park entrance. Just a heads-up the café is cash-only, which is a bit unusual these days.nnThe only downside was the parking. We arrived early and were lucky to get a spot in the small free car park off Darley Park Road, right near the entrance. I can imagine parking would be much more difficult later in the day. There may be other options nearby but we didn’t explore further.nnAll in all, it’s a fantastic spot to spend a few hours outdoors. Definitely worth a visit!
A beautiful space, great parking, access, well maintained paths. Sports fields, play area, family picnic areas, the Derwent river banks with beautiful views accross from Darley playing fields, etsablished trees & wild areas, park gardens & cafe, circular walk through Darley Abbey recommended...dog friendly.
Large hillside park leading down to the river Derwent. Huge open spaces with a large number of old trees on the hill side..
