Great park, do nice in the sun to go and have a sit and a picnic. Maybe some ice cream. Go watch the people play tennis. Go see the geese and ducks, just like a really nice and good park with good space. Dogs on the big field sprinting and lazing about in the sun. What's not to like. It's a park, but done good. Sat here while my car was getting an MOT from kwikfit over the road. Lovely. Good cafe up the top and all. And a library! What more.could.you want from a park. There is also public toilets which aren't horrible either.

I have only been to Tramlines in the park but it was a fab experience. The event was very well organised and the facilities were brilliant. Plenty of toilets and food outlets and some great stalls. Pulp were spectacular! It took a while to get out of the park but the crowd were patient and considerate and everyone seemed to have a happy and positive experience.

A delightful smallish park in Hillsborough Park, complete with play areas, a fishing lake and numerous paths. The Walled Garden is a must to visit! The park is popular with runners, dog walkers and young families. There are a couple of entrances; I did see signs noting prompt closure times for the gates-seemed quite early🤷‍♀️ It’s pretty easy to get to this park from the City Centre by bus or using the yellow Supertram route to Middlewood; the alternative is to catch the Supertram to Malin Bridge and exit at Hillsborough. When visiting make sure to go into the Walled Garden which is stunning!

A lovely park in the heart of hillsborough. A few different entrances across all sides, paid parking of about 150 spaces. Lovely children's play park, skate park for all ages and small lake. Coffee and ice cream shop on the stadium side just outside park, and ice cream van there most days. Bakery on top side behind play park too!
