    Been to Whitby staying with family many times. This was the first time I've been into the park, well worth the visit. Stunning views, Art Gallery and Museum. Children's adventure play area, Geo/Fossil Area. Accessibility: the park is on a hill, but good wide paths, and parking for disabled in the heart if the park. Car Park: at the top and Disabled behind the Art Gallery and Museum. Flora: Specimin Trees (leaflet available in the Art Gallery and Museum) and flower borders. Could do with Tree and Plant labels! Rose Garden: in front of the Art Gallery and Museum, scent was stunning. Signage: plenty of signs with park maps and info. Tearoom: in the Museum, not open at weekends in the summer due to the owners family commitments.

    Great little park to visit when you're in Whitby, plenty to see plus Art Gallery (free) n Museum (£7/yr). Excellent playground for kids. Only downside for me, no dogs.

    Kids loved it here. Made friends with other kids. Easily filled an hour. Which is good as there is free parking on the roadside if you can get a park. Alternatively, there is parking at the museum for disabled which is also in the park grounds. Lovely park with lots of places to sit and relax, picnic if wanted

    Really well looked after and attractive park offering superb views of the Town and Sea below. Nice at all times of the year and plenty of places to sit down as well as pathways to walk around on hard standing. Looking forward to seeing the plants and flowers in full bloom in the Summer.

    I love this park the squirrels are so cute we got some nuts to feed them and they crawl on your hand and eat the nuts out of your hand there little paws are so cute. We visited the muesum that was very interesting free for children which was a great added bonus saving money only pay for adults. The park is beautiful it has a water feature that is really lovely to walk around, when the sun is shining it is nice to sit here plenty of benches just be careful of the cheeky seagulls that are about! Also no dogs are allowed on this park so is very well looked after plus the children can freely run around and not have to worry about standing in dog poo. The park is lovely with lot's of different play equipment perfect for children of all ages.

    The in the museum in Pannett Park is a hidden gem. Pass through the museum and head downstairs to the tea room, and you'll find a friendly welcome. Choice of coffee limited but comes in a large china cup which makes a pleasant change. I ordered a toasted teacake which came with plenty of butter (should have said no jam thanks). Seats available inside and out. We sat outside in beautiful sunshine surrounded by the magnificent park. May be possible to get wheelchair access without going through the museum. Ask. Handy for the large children's playground but out of sight. Restrooms available.

    This place is absolutely amazing. You just don't expect this kind of crisp green space during the month of January. All the plants are happy and you can tell the area is well looked after as the animals there are lively aswell as friendly. And the Squirrels!! Squirrels everywhere. 100% chance you could feed them if you brought something with you. They were all so curious. Also the views from the top of the park are absolutely astounding. You can see over almost entire city all the way up to the old Abbey ruins. Come Summer when everything is in bloom, one can only imagine it'll be even grander.
