Not impressed with Chesterfield Pride 2025. Holding it on a Saturday (match day!) meant walking through crowds of football lads, not ideal. The “no open bottles” rule made things worse in the pouring rain and humidity. It was okay, but could’ve been so much better.

Not very busy but I enjoy taking my dag round the perimeter. Brambles well picked but they were not at there best. When the ground is dry its a good place to walk.

The Largest Recreational field in Tapton Area. Build with extensive land mass with multiple children play ground, football field large enough mini stafium. Extremely secure user friendly outdoor heaven with friendly neighbourhood and users. Will highly recommend for anyone

Great park for the kids with a small skateboard/scooter park, swings and play equipment and a football / basketball court. There is sometimes broken glass on the courts and the local late evening kids are less than considerate with their rubbish...the council ought to be mindful of this and have a morning clear up Lots of green spaces too for running and playing when the ground is firmer...all in all a good few hours of fun to be had

A well maintained public park with two free car parks. The park consists of a large grassed area of football pitches with paths and slightly wooded areas for dog walking. There’s a well-equipped smaller kids play area towards the bottom of the park with swings, climbing frames etc. Towards the top of the park are areas for larger kids with a ball court, skate park and larger play area. There’s also a cafe with toilets next to the bowling green however it only opens some weekends when football teams are playing. It can get very busy Saturday and Sunday mornings with football teams or when Chesterfield FC play at home, as many spectators use the car parks.
