There's everything for a day's fun. Kids playground, football pitch, little cafe, public toilets. For dog walkers there's couple of woodland trails and of course park itself. It's getting better - parking is free and there's plenty spaces.

Lovely park with plenty for kids to do. Toilet blocks with one toilet available - not sure about a separate disabled toilet. Lovely spread of snowdrops and well tended gardens. Would love to see what the park is like later on the year.

Center park is an amazing place. It covers a large area in the heart of Scunthorpe. Whenever I go there, I feel very happy to see the views. There are a lot of trees and it offers a fresh and peaceful environment. In the evening, people love to enjoy their time in various activities including playing, walking, dating etc. In the summer, the park looks very vibrant and colorful flowers make it very quite and watchable. Similarly, the failing leaves create a warm and yellow & reddish in the autumn. Overall, it is a must recommended place for everyone, especially in the summer and autumn.

Took my 2 dogs for a walk here whilst in Messingham earlier this month. This is a Beautiful, Picturesque, very well maintained park. Spent 1.5 hours here walking around, admiring the surroundings and soaking up the atmosphere. It has numerous concrete paths to follow, making this park accessible for all to enjoy. There are numerous benches located throughout the park - perfect for a little rest or to enjoy some lunch. It has a very large tarmac car park, which is free to use, and holds over 100 cars - 9 spaces of which are for Disabled users. The car park also has a small section for Motorbikes to park in. There is a large information board located at the top left of the car park, which displays a large map and a brief summary of the park itself. Would absolutely recommend a visit if in the area 😊

It has a free car pack and it is dog friendly. If your dog is nervous be aware there are lots of dogs of lead here. It has a kids play area and splash park there's also an ice cream van about some days and a little cafe that does take away drinks and cookies. A really pretty place to walk around definitely worth a visit if you're in the area xx
