Great park in the heart of Durham, literally on top of the train station. Outstanding views of the cathedral!! Car park is tiny so i can imagine in the summer months would be a struggle to find a space. Parking costs 50p per half an hour. There are 3 separate parks, one to the left of the car park with outdoors gym exercise machines, few picnic tables and a stone type of monument. To the right of the car park there is a small play ground with a climbing wall, a roundabout, some swings. There is also a coffee shop with toilets. There is plenty of garden routes to walk around, a communal garden and another play area but for older kids. There is a climbing tower with an insanely sharp slide, I saw a kid fly over the slide and hurt themselves. There is also a 5 a side / basketball court and an outdoors small car track to drive around!! It feels like this old park had been perfectly redesigned for the 21 century. Super impressed!!
Great park facilities. Lots of places and equipment for the children to play on. Handy car park but it does charge and is only very small (currently 60p per half hour). There is a cafe but definitely worth checking opening times before you arrive if you need it. Toilet facilities are all open. Beautiful views of Durham.
Wow!!!
Many years since last visit and they have done a superb job.
There is so much to do and see!
Several kids parks/ outdoor gym for all / superb views over Durham and the cathedral.
New heritage Centre with refreshments.
Something for everyone! BRILLIANT.
Lovely space to walk the dog. Clean, quiet, and a lovely spot to see over the city
It's a really lovely place to visit and enjoy with your partner and their dog. It's a lovely place to visit with the family. Amazing beautiful views to be seen
