I visited for Huddersfield parkrun. It’s a beautiful park with lots to see. There are lakes, statues, an impressive war memorial, tunnel and bridges. There are various activities that include a bowling green, tennis courts, children’s play ground and a miniature railway. There is no parking within the park itself but there is parking on the road outside. Just check for restrictions as some spaces were permit only or had time restrictions on them. The park has a cafe in a glasshouse but I didn’t stay to try it.

Well maintained, maybe this is where my astronomical council tax money is going. The park and play areas are very clean and modern, a lot of effort has gone into the up keep and there is a lot of history around the park. There was a water fountain maintenance team emptying a water feature on the day we visited and I would of thought they could of used the water a little more wisely during a hose pipe ban and general water shortage across the country, (like watering the plants) rather than pumping the water straight onto the nearby path.

Lovely park, we were very surprised at how attractive and well kept the park is. We parked on the road to the side of the park quite close to one of several gates. There is plenty of interest including a pond, little bridges, tennis courts, bowling greens, play grounds, band stand and possibly a cafe/ice cream and miniature railway in the summer. Although it was a cool day, there was still an ice cream van in action. A very nice 2 1/2 mile walk.

It's impressively clean and well-maintained, with ample garbage disposal facilities. The play areas are in excellent condition and appear to adhere to safety regulations, providing peace of mind for parents. A charming duck pond adds to the park's appeal, offering opportunities to observe wildlife. Additionally, there are plenty of benches and seating areas scattered throughout, making it easy to take a break and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, Greenhead Park is a wonderful spot for relaxation and recreation.
