Absolutely love this place! Perfect place to spend an afternoon having a picnic or just taking the kids to feed the ducks, geese etc.Also lots of photo opportunities for budding nature/landscape photographers.Most of the paths are pushchair friendly. From the car park take the path at the left which runs along side the railway tracks. It's a much easier walk and prams etc are fine.

An absolute lovely place to visit either for a walk with family or just taking the dog for a walk. With a private fishing lake and two other lakes wirh a variety of bird life, and nature, its a fantastic place for the young and old. Big free car park as well.

Very busy area for dog walkers and quite a pleasant enough park to walk around for a leisurely hour or so if you stop to feed the birdlife. Also connected by NCN route 67 and TPT.Reasonable sized car park accomodating 20 vehicles.

A nice old reclaimed colliery, that is mostly nature reserve. A couple of lakes that have plenty of wild life. There is 2 places you can cut under the train tracks via bridges. To the west ( from main entrance ) takes you through and up towards Doncaster road. To the north brings you to oakenshaw lane and to part of the disused Barnsley canal. There are some Horse riders ( children ) top right area. So if like me you dont like horses maybe want to avoid it or jump into bushes while they pass.

Beautiful place for a walk. We visited on a December morning, after a night of heavy rainfall. We had our 1 year old in his basic pram, and were easily able to walk the red path around the colliery and get to the war memorial. There is free parking on site, but no toilet or cafe. Fab walk, will definitely be back more often now!

Beautiful park. I remember it as a working colliery and since moving back after 40 years in the South I can't believe the transformation. Having proper gravelled paths is a plus when it rains, but wear wellies as the natural run off makes these extremely muddy.Horse dung is also prevelent.Great place for a dog walk but the only bins are in the carpark, so you'll have to carry your pooh bags until the end of your walk

Nice place for walking with the kids and birdwatching... sadly ruined by unbelievable amounts of dog poo on the paths near the car park. You can actually smell it as soon as you get out of the car. Not so much at the far end, because lazy people, who don't tidy up after their dogs, can't mamage a walk more than 200 metres from the carpark. We couldn't enjoy the views because we were too busy tiptoeing around huge piles of dogger.I feel a bit embarrassed to be a human.

Tucked away gem of a place with different length options of walks (none are too long). Very picturesque and great for dogs - just be ready for any horses on the trail.

Lovely and absolutely huge park, ideal for long walks with or without the dog. Friendly people in the area, and some amazing sights to see aside from the clock.
