It was a lovely park yet as a black Muslim family visiting there was an older white man serving at the park cafe ice cream shop who was so rude I didn't even give him my custom. Absolutely despicable! And the tennis courts were locked what ludicrousy

Lovely play area and well maintained gardens but no toilets. You have to buy something at the cafe to use theirs when it's open, use Lidl which only has one and is a bit grotty or walk to market place which is not free, only accepts cash and shuts at 6pm. Was having a lovely evening with grandkids until one needed a poo and then it got very stressful

I really enjoyed going to this park, there's something for everyone. Nice therapeutic walks, clean rivers, clean children's park abd a cafe. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of dogs running around without their owners and coming to our picnic table and sniffing our delicious food. My children were alittle intimidated by big dogs. I met many people that live near the park and they were really friendly.

Our toddler enjoyed the experience, play equipment, looking at birds in the aviary (I felt queasy at captive birds in such a bare concrete set up). Ornate war memorial with bedding plants. There's what looks to be a well appointed cafe and there was live music in the bandstand on a Wednesday when we went (small combo singing and playing amplified guitars etc) This seemed to be appreciated by a small audience using the seating provided. No car park, paid-for small car public park off the approach to the Town Hall. I wouldn't make a point of going again as it's not local to me, but it would be a nice green space for Bingley residents.

Nice area good open spaces to picnic and chill. Has a couple of playgrounds that are ok not that big and a bit busy so had to wait to get on things. There’s a bowling green and cafe and ice cream shop there. The ice cream is really nice. They had a festival on when we went so there was an animal petting zoo and various other attractions in and around.
