Absolute gem of a park. Cheap grass courts! You can rent rackets and balls at the cafe next door and court time is $12 an hour. Coming from New York, this is an amazing public resource!!!
Lovely park to enjoy a walk around with some great sculptures and senary to enjoy. The name Fitz is derived from an Old Norse word meaning 'riverside meadow' and for centuries this area was a water meadow used for grazing cattle and sheep. It was undrained and subject to regular flooding. The land was purchased by the Fitz Park Trust in 1882 from the Rydal Hall estate to form part of a new public park for the town.
Such a lovely park and every time we walked it there was someone maintaining it, leaf blowing, strimming, cutting grass. It's a gorgeous walk along the river and has a large field / cricket pitch to let rh dog run around. Even a cafe. All this and the backdrop of the fells and mountains. Love it.
A well maintained park in Keswick, keep an eye out for the amazing wooden sculptures carved out of tree trunks. There is a table tennis bring your own bats and ball. There is a what seems like a bowling green. Also if you lucky you might spot the Heron trying to catch it's dinner by the river. And a few bunnies too.
Nice clean well maintained park to walk around with the dog. One of three Victorian parks in Keswick. Quiet in the daytime, great colours in autumn. Some good sculptures to look out for on the way around. Also you can stop off at one of the cafes on your way around for a coffee or snack. Anyone staying in Keswick should definitely pay these parks a visit.
