First time visiting this park today with my husband, granddaughter and our little dog Eric. What a lovely park, plenty of parking. Wide open space for dogs and children to run. The only down side today was two grown women fighting in the car park and police officers trying to break it up. There are lots of pathways to explore dotted with interesting stone pillars, band stand and other buildings. A lovely children's play area and lots of bins for a change. A bowling green, a football pitch and public toilets. Well worth a visit but try to avoid the car park brawl.

Great outdoor space, incline from the car park to the top but you’re rewarded with fabulous views. First time visit, picturesque in the snow. Plenty of seats, cafe open when allows, basketball court. Parking can be busy, roadside parking available. Well tarmac paths, easily navigated with pushchairs or wheelchairs/mobility scooters.

A lovely park with a cafe, bandstand, MUGA, bowling club and tower dating to the later 19th century. Great for dogs. Cafe serves dog ice cream as well as human ice cream. The staff are friendly and polite! They also host the local park run on a weekend. The last time I visited there was a travelling fair with lots of rides, so also a likely venue for touring events.

Classic and Custom Car Show Today! Love it. A really good turn out with lots and lots of vintage cars and motorcycles to look at. A really good day out for the whole family!!

First visit, really impressed. Nice for a walk. Good paths, well tended parkland and trees. Good selection of swings close to a good cafe.

A very nice park with some lovely features. There is a good cafe with large kids playground. Lots of green open spaces, great for dogs. Some nice gardens and buildings to make the place more interesting as well. There are tennis courts, gym equipment and basketball nets, all free to use. Good amount of parking

What a fabulous park I did parkrun lovely people so friendly fabulous cafe first time but not my last & a marvelous breakfast

We went to the car show and really enjoyed our day. There was plenty of parking available and all the family enjoyed it.

Nice large park in the centre of Barnsley. Well kept with a decent cafe and nice play area. Band stand, folly and a few statues if you like things like that. Wooded and open areas.

Great day out with the kids. Lots of stalls to walk around. A huge classic car show to walk around. And a fun fair for the kids. Food and drink venders on site , toilets first aid. Plenty of parking.

Fantastic park for children, adults, dogs and cats! Large open space with lots of greenery, a great playground, tennis and basketball courts. Free parking with a reasonably priced Cafe next to the playground and don't forget the proud statue of the nineteenth century civil engineer Joeseph Locke...

Very pleasant, relaxing and hilly.

So fresh,nice walk with kids, there is nice play area for kids with lots to have a fun. Very nice. Very nice park for every one

Another top tarn park, very well kept and very little litter though the occasional dog offering left by non caring owners. Good play area for the kids and a decent cafe.

Was a great firework display, enjoyed it alot and there was plenty to do. Definitely recommend it for Bonfire night🎆

I visited Lock Park at Bonfire Night, and it was great. Bonfire and fireworks display were spectacular. It was very muddy, I recommend wellies next year.

Very pleasant park to stroll around and ideal for exercising the dog. The main reason we chose this park was for the children's outdoor play area. A great collection of swings, climbing frames see-saw and roundabout etc is must for small children. Café is dog friendly, and staff very helpful and attentive. Recommended.

Locke Park is so lovely to walk around. Its vast, so everyone can spread out. Lots of pathways so very accessible for all. Some lovely spots to stop for a rest, the memorial benches dotted around are nice. Very well looked after, rarely see rubbish whilst walking. The kids play area ia top notch, but does get busy. Cafe is lovely. I do love a hot chocolate in the winter from there. Lots of events, park run, dog walk clubs, fairs etc. Lovely all round.

We enjoyed Locke Park, helped by the glorious weather. Lots of wide open space, however, we concentrated ourselves around the children okay area, once found. Kids had a great time, coffee shop served plenty of snack options including ice-creams and milkshakes. Worth an hour if your time for the kids to burn off some energy!!!

Beautiful for all ages ,shame the sand pit had to go

Attended the Classic Car show on Sunday 11th June 2023.

Authorities can't deal with Anti social behaviour. This park is the most important thing in Barnsley. Shame because we all pay for this improvements that don't last in this town.

Great for a walk for all the family & nice cafe for a coffee, parking is available too.

Park itself is very nice also the café, however I wish there would be more options on the playground for the little ones. It is good for older kids, but not really for babies, only one swing for babies and nothing more really.

Nice well kept park, free car parking, good children's play area

The Labyrinth mural is brilliant, a must see for ant fan.

Beautiful well kept park. From tranquil to the kids park. Plenty of seating bang next to the park, which offers something for all ages, which is rare. Even a swing for those with mobility issues. Well thought out with a cafe and toilets at the side. Brilliant place 👏

Great place to go and relax after a long time at work.

Locke park is always a favourite place to go the cafe was open and the tea and icecream we had were lovely the play area was very busy the kids still enjoyed it. We had a nice walk round before finding a space to sit and read for the older ones while the little ones had a good run around to burn of energy finding the paintings was lovely too and the fairy garden

great place to visit and see. Nice cafe selling hot cold foods. child and disabled and dog friendly. well worth a vissit. free parking and ample space.
