  • "A large park just a short walk from the centre of Huddersfield, boasting large green spaces, several play areas, a small railway (summers only) and not one but two cafés."
  • "Awesome place. It's got everything to be honest a great kids play park area with outdoor water paddling area, light railway, skate park, large playing fields."
  • "Victorian park with playground, gardens, lake, fountains skate park, tennis courts, bowling green, miniature railway, bandstand and cafe."

Cons:

  • "The original adidas rings were rip down and replaced by cheap nasty rubbish due to the council."
  • "The paddling pool hasn't been filled yet this year for some reason."

Cafes and Food

Pros:

  • "Nice cafe near the car park but the hours of opening are far too short and get hot food is very restricted."
  • "There are 2 cafes. One in the newly refurbished conservatory."
  • "The Caffè was open as where the toilets."
  • "There are 2 cafès serving a variety of snacks and drinks."
  • "Recommend the top cafe by the tennis courts run by brother and sister team Anthony and Lisa Coletta."
  • "Refreshment rooms sells full English breakfast, pizzas and pasta plus ice cream in lots of flavours."
  • "The cafe is very well priced, I usually find cafes within parks quite expensive but this is really good, good choice of ice cream flavours too."

Cons:

  • "Would personally eat at either of the cafes as I just don't believe what you are served is worth it."
  • "The cafe in the greenhouse was closed for refurbishment so we had to go to the one by the tennis courts, which is a bit of a greasy spoon IMO."
  • "Avoid the one at the bottom in the conservatory. It's the exact opposite; expensive, unclean and usually full of insects."
  • "Unfortunately no cafes were open not even an ice-cream van around."
  • "The cafe opens and shuts when it wants, so don't rely upon it being open when you go."
  • "Found the ice cream from the top cafe very expensive if they dropped the price they would definitely sell a lot more."
  • "The ice cream van charges £2.50 for one single cone which is ridiculous."
