Great Place & Well Looked After by Leeds City Council. Clean & Tidy.nPlenty of Stuff for Kids in The Kids Play Area.nThe Little Japanese Garden is a Cute Place Walk Around.nHuge Park for Walking or Running.nA Big Free Parking Area is Very Handy.
Park paths need some attention. Horsforth in Bloom and the Community Garden project do some great work to enhance the park. Lots going on with regular fun fairs and more recently galas and junior Park run. Foxes make a bit of a mess overnight but gets picked up. Lots of dogs there, owners mostly considerate and respectful. Grass is mown regularly and creditable woodland project ongoing. Sometimes in wet times there can be minor flooding. Japanese garden needs some attention. Natter Bench a lovely idea and well cared for, as are benches generally. Sunday bands sometimes at bandstand and carols at Christmas. Cricket Club has very active social side. A great park overall.
Lovely place to have a walk around and visit. Went to see the Japanese Gardens but sadly they look like they need work doing to as it's not as glorious as it used to be, besides that it's a lovely place for a walk and even a picnic when the weather is right of course.
Only small, but a lovely place for a walk. I took my baby strapped to me, but you could easily push a pram around if it had some sturdy wheels. Great little place for some fresh air.
This place is a wonderful place to visit and to take the friends and family. The park is many acres of grassland with some woodland which is perfect to walk the dogs or kids. There is a kids park for them to play in which is closed off and an area enclosed to let dogs off of the lead. The park is located at the bottom of horsforth and there is food and drink places nearby. In the center of the park is a wonderful curry house serving homemade currys and giant naan breads they also deliver. I have visited this park many, many times over the years and it's constantly improving. There are events throughout the year at the park including visiting fun fairs and fairs. The park has two carparks located at opposite sides of the park to each other and the park is relatively flat with flat paths throughout.
