Love Falsgrave Park, great for kids in a fenced off playground where dogs are not allowed, lovely to walk up the paths to the top field , plenty of birds, squirrels and deer to be seen- borrow a book cabinet near the playground - also the friends of falsgrave Park organise events during the year - Halloween was the last one- absolutely brilliant ! Lots of effort 👌🏻

Stone Sun dial, football area, swings of all sorts, climbing ropes, lots of trees, free little library and the only stone table tennis place in a whole Scarborough! My family have not seen so many attractions in one park in Scarborough for a long time. I must add that Falsgrave Park is very well kept. It is clean, well lit, lawns are freshly mawn and there are young trees recently planted. Wow!! That is officially the best looking park in Scarborough! Well done!

A true dog walkers park. Great place to let your dogs run around and mix with like minded people and their dogs. But be warned, there is the ODD one or two, that no matter what you do, it will be wrong and they will tell you. Obviously, they have a dog for all the wrong reasons.
