I love this park!!! It’s quiet in the mornings and has lots of benches. Good times and good vibes, especially when dogs approach you 🤩

Hollycroft park is brilliant. Well looked after and music of some kind most weekends. Bands, old and young, line dancing, you name it. Access for wheel chairs, toy should use the bottom car park. Rather steep otherwise.

It is a nice large park, with different areas to explore and views of the local area.

It really is no exaggeration when I say that Hollycroft park in Hinckley is quite simply one of the most beautiful places on earth for me personally. I live just down the road from this wonderful park and I have so many fond memories of visiting, in the summer you literally can’t keep me away from the place. It has been voted consistently as one of the ten best parks in the whole country and continues to hold a Green Flag award. The locals of Hinckley, myself included take incredible pride in Hollycroft Park. We love it and cherish it and are eternally grateful for having it right on our doorstep. Many towns do not have green spaces as picturesque and welcoming as Hollycroft and I am so glad that I can stroll out of my house with my dog and give her a walk in such a beautiful environment. Of course parks are not just for looking and and walking around, they are there to be used and enjoyed and for memories to be made in them. Hollycroft has usability in abundance. There are so many facilities and things to do there. There is a pitch and put, a bowling green, tennis court, two ping pong tables, a small outdoor gym, male and female toilets and one with disabled access, areas with benches and a classic bandstand that actually gets used. In the summer you could spend the entire day there, bring a picnic and a few drinks (make sure to take tour rubbish home) and never run out of things to do. The park hosts many events, most of which are organised by the incredible Friends of Hollycroft Park group, these volunteers work so hard to bring amazing experiences to the park, my favourite of these being Music in the Park. This event runs every other week during the summer months from 1-3pm and has a varied selection of acts performing, from rock to classical. I try never to miss any of these as they are brilliant, my fiancé and I even invested in a pop up tent to maximise our enjoyment. As soon as the events are announced they go straight in my calendar so I am sure not to miss any of them. The Friends of Hollycroft Park also do volunteer gardening and encourage locals to join them. They also organise a Variety Night every year where a local opera group perform on a Friday evening towards the end of summer, very classy. The park has a Pavilion which is run by the Friends and the bowls club that is often open during the summer and its quite nice to walk past the bowling green and seeing people enjoying a game. Most years they also do a Proms in the Park, they are always an amazing event but the greatest of all was last years to celebrate the Queens Jubilee, I have never seen the park so busy, the bandstand area which is quite large, reached capacity and people were sitting all over the park to listen to the music, there must have been several thousand people there that day and the atmosphere was electric, I will remember that event for the rest of my life. The organisers even gave everyone free Union Jack flags, such a nice touch. Charities such as A Gift to Lift have also hosted Cinema in the Park, unfortunately none have happened since the pandemic but I absolutely loved watching Bohemian Rhapsody and Pretty Woman there, drinking cocktails while watching movies in such beautiful surroundings. The park is incredibly well maintained with so many beautiful flowers and trees, so much love and care is put into making this such a wonderful environment. It has its own little nature trail and has loads of bird boxes, it’s full on life, you can sit and watch the birds, squirrels and insects all day and never get bored. The park is also dog friendly, apart from the bandstand and the pitch and put area, so you see so many cute dogs, it really is a great place for everyone. Me, my partner, my dog Pickle, our family and our friends all love this place so much, it’s a place to meet people, have fun times and enjoy the beauty of nature, and more often than not listen to amazing music. My passion for this park will never dissipate, it’s one of my all time favourite places, check it out and see why I love it so much.

Nice place for a walk. Just discovered this place as I have been searching for a replacement park to Manchester’s Heaton Park for sledding. Looks like it is going to be the same fun here on the pitch and putt area.
