Reviews
It's a lovely green park a little way out of the centre of Bradford. There are some Mughal gardens a bit like alhambra style gardens - though the water features were a bit foamy - a large lake and other features. It nicely complements a visit to the art gallery. There is a reasonable amount of parking - but I can imagine parking being difficult on a sunny Summer weekend.
A lovely, well-maintained park. We’re not from the area, but during our visit we didn’t see any of the unsavoury behaviour that you sadly come across in some parks these days.nnIt felt safe to walk around, has a beautiful lake, well-kept gardens, and a fountain area. The children’s playground in Lister Park is one of the largest we’ve ever come across - really impressive!
It is a lovely park with a lot of history, such as the entrance gate, statue of Titus Salt, Cartwright Hall, and I'm sure other points of interest I may not have noticed. I used to go to the playground when I was younger, and it seems to have had a nice upgrade. A walk along the boating lake is very relaxing, although unfortunately the tearooms and boating pavilion are currently closed. Overall, it is a nice place in which to spend time during the day, and the bus links to and from are excellent.
Beautiful, clean, and very well looked after. Lister Park is perfect for a picnic, with plenty of scenic spots and space for kids to enjoy riding their scooters. The playground is great, featuring a sandpit, a younger children’s area, and a separate section for older kids. A lovely place for families to spend the day
It took me about 40 minutes to walk up from Bradford Interchange to Lister Park; I know that it’s on a main bus route up Manningham Road but I like to walk. There is also a carpark at the top of the site.nThe Park is absolutely stunning with beautiful tree lined avenues, a good sized lake with many, many birds of all sizes and lots of specific areas such as the Botanical Gardens.nThere’s also a very interesting fossil tree, a band stand, large children’s playground and sports facilities towards the top of the park. My favourite part was the Mughal Water Gardens.nIt was very disappointing to find that the Cartwright Hall was closed-no information on Google etc.nI arrived at the same time as several other people and a party of young children with their teachers to find a note on the door.nEdit October 2025: the Park looks stunning in autumnal colours.nIt’s a Monday so Cartright Hall is closed which also means there are absolutely no toilet facilities-very poor show!
