This
is
my
local
park.
It's
connected
to
Thornes
Park
and
Holmfield
Park.
It's
a
lovely
space
with
lots
of
different
areas
from
the
tennis
courts
and
the
bowling
club
to
Holmfield
House
(dog
friendly
pub),
the
band
stand
area,the
amphitheatre
all
the
way
across
to
the
playground,
skatepark,
the
running
track
and
the
lovely
walks
throughout
the
various
parks.
There's
bits
of
history
with
the
bandstand,
the
water
trough
and
the
cannon
site.
This
is
well
hidden
but
worth
finding
for
the
view.
Most
of
it
is
mobility
scooter
friendly
from
the
duck
pond
and
aviary
as
well
as
the
rose
garden.
You
can
only
drive
so
far
into
the
park,
only
up
to
the
campus
where
there's
lots
of
parking.
Dogs
are
welcome
and
can
be
see
training
on
some
days,
running
free
and
on
leads.
Lots
of
rubbish
bins
for
poo
bags.
The
playground
has
gone
through
several
changes
since
I
moved
to
Wakefield
in
1977.
Currently
there's
a
small
fenced
area
for
little
ones
with
swings,
slides
and
bouncy
things.
The
flooring
is
very
soft
so
no
bruises
after
falls.
The
larger
playground
has
what
I
know
as
a
witches
hat
rope
climbing
area,
swings,
a
huge
slide
and
various
rocks
to
climb
on.
Again
the
ground
surface
has
been
treated
to
reduce
broken
bones
following
any
falls.
And
behind
that
is
the
ride
on
railway.
It's
a
little
treasure
enjoyed
by
adults
and
children
alike.
There
is
an
ice-cream
van
in
the
car
park
next
to
the
playground
and
a
second
one
over
by
the
duck
pond.
There
is
also
a
little
cafe
near
the
duck
pond
but
not
sure
of
the
opening
times
sorry.
I
highly
recommend
this
park,
oh
and
I
almost
forgot,
at
certain
times
of
the
year
there
is
a
rollercoaster
and
different
rides
usually
next
to
the
playground
and
there
used
to
be
concerts
in
the
band
stand
(
if
they
are
still
going
on
you
need
to
take
your
own
seats)
Please
go
and
enjoy
it
all.
