Dewsbury Country Park

Great place for a good wander with the dog

Went on my weekly litter pick. Whole park is alive with Butterflies, Dragonflies, Damselflies and micromoths along with all the birdlife.

V nice to walk especially in early morning,Nothing much for kids , plenty of wild raspberries bushies, not a best

If the work continues will be a wonderful park as trees grow etc. Lots of good points but the car park is locked so you have to park outside on the road. No facilities at all !

Great space close to Spen Valley Greenway. Puzzled why gates locked to what looks like the main car park.

Not really much to see on land that was a refuse tip for years, then turned into this place, nice for walk. One time when it was a Tip, I lived on a farm in the very area, so I remember it well. A nice lake for wildlife would have been good, but..

Walk all the time with my friend and dog and we feed the swan's and other animals love it

I travelled here with my daughter on a Sunday early afternoon, baking the traffic due to local roadworks got here only to find out that Kirklees council in their wisdom keep the car park locked so you can't use it. Had to abandon car by car park entrance then we went cycling around the park and on the cycle route it links to. The concept of the park is great albeit my daughter was disappointed there were no child playing facilities. The park does have a litter issue which is a shame, as does the connecting cycle route 66. Unsure whether we would travel over again from Calderdale given the negatives. particularly the parking. I do not understand why a council would build such a facility only to keep the car park locked on weekends?!

Lots of footpaths, will get better as all the trees grow. It would be better if there were markers on each path because it gets confusing which path to take. The big paths are hard and are OK for prams, cycles and wheelchairs. It can get very boggy on some of the small footpaths.

Quiet, good for dog walking but limited parking and no facilities at all, not even 1 rubbish bin in the entire park. Location boards are orientated wrongly you have some upside down so you have to try and look behind you to see where you want to go.
