Lovely park but enjoyed the cafe/ little library the most. Good coffee and cakes. With dog friendly seating outside that has stunning views of the park. There is a small library in the cafe, with comfy seating, perfect for whiling an hour away. Will definitely be back.

There are slides and swings and the usual array of things for kids to play on, as well as a zip line. There is a nice cafe. It is a nice place all in all and we had a good time there. It's a bit muddy after the rain - so just what my kids want.

4/ 5

The park is a jewel, with a lake and a great play area. But it needs investment. The area at the north end needs to either be adequately drained or turned into a proper wetland. The paths need to be regularly washed to remove the accumulations of goose poo. But it is still lovely, and the “poppy screen” is beautiful and moving.

A lovely park.Being going for over 70 years.I remember a well kept lake.Not so now I am afraid.The paths around the perimeter and the grass is covered with geese poo.My advice is to take the children to enclosed parts where they cannot get into.I have been moaning about this problem for years! Often floods in winter which can disappoint unsuspecting visitors.Toilet facilities much better in the cafe Tennis is popular and skateboarding too.

5/ 5

A lovely park with plenty of space, a children's playground, skate park, tennis and basketball courts I think, and great through routes to loads of other walks in the area. Highly recommend for a nice stroll through the gardens, or a starting/resting point for a longer walk

5/ 5

Best park in York. It has a playing ground, tennis courts, basketball court, skating practice parkour, small lake, with a nice bridge (some white pigeons nearly all the time on it) swans, ducks and a very nice cafe with friendly owners... If the park is not big enough for your walk, basically you can go out of the park and walk beside the river, one direction to the town and the other to basically an endless walk. What else do you want This park is a beauty.
