Horsforth Hall Park

Horsforth Hall Park is a neighborhood park spanning about 3.4 hectares with distinct areas for various activities across the site. The grounds include open green spaces, a cricket pitch, a bowling green, a children's adventure playground, and a bandstand for outdoor performances.

The park developed from Horsforth Hall, a residence built in 1699 that remained with the Stanhope family for generations. In 1930, William Mathieson acquired the property and donated it to the local council, leading to its conversion into a public park for community use.

The park features a Japanese Garden that blends Asian design principles with the traditional English park layout, creating a distinct cultural marker within the local community. This section draws visitors seeking a quieter experience different from the main recreational areas.

The main entrance on Hall Lane offers two accessible parking spaces for disabled visitors, and all park paths are fully wheelchair accessible throughout. Walking shoes are useful for exploring the different zones, and you will find seating areas scattered across the grounds for rest stops.

The children's play area features specially designed equipment that allows children under eight of all physical abilities to play together without barriers. This approach to play design means kids with different needs can share the same space and activities.
