Park and Grounds
Pros:
"Great family Park nestled in a valley on the edge of Halifax."

"Beautiful park with lots to do for children."

Cons:
"The park has gone down hill a little, the zip wire was broken."
"Everywhere is tired, in need of some TLC, a coat of paint, or completely replacing."
"The park is a bit run down but still plenty of use for kids to play!"
"The playground in the park has not had any investment since it was given a makeover at the start of the 2000s."
"A nice park, but the zip wire never works and the boats are never open."
"The only thing that lets it down is that you cannot see the big playground from the small one."
"One of the yellow entrance gates into the playground is completely missing."

"The online parking is a nightmare due to lack of phone signal in the valley."
"We got a £50 parking fine, which we will protest about, but the app was very difficult on a sunny day."
"The café area is not very good for people with disabilities and mobility issues."
"The only downside is the toilets, none of them fit a pram in them."
"It's gravel underfoot do hard for mobility issues."

Cons:

"The cafe is modern and child-friendly."
"The only thing that I would say let me down was the cafe, waited in the queue only to see when I got to the front the staff (young girl) sneezing everywhere."
"The only thing that is a little disappointing is that the cafe closes early."
"At the boating lake you are charged per person for 30 mins, even at the seaside the price is per boat."
"The playground... public toilets here too. They were a bit smelly and not that clean but better than nothing."
"The play area has a few nasty people on so be careful and keep your eye on you little one."
