"DO NOT buy ice cream from the ice cream van. What a rip off."

"There are often different events that are held in Roberts Park, like the Sundown festival (in April) and Saltaire Festival (in September)."
Cons:
"Small park but it's good for people who have mobility issues. Really busy in summer at the weekends, so if you want peace go somewhere else like Northcliffe or Shipley glen."
"The play area is well equipped with a good variety of things for kids but, not big enough to cope on busy days so, more waiting and queueing than playing."
"However, there isn't much you can do in the park."
