Park in Bradford

“A HIDDEN GEM! I use the park regularly for walking the dogs or taking the kids to play football and use the playground equipment. The park is home to a lovely woodland walk that provides great opportunities for nature photography. For the runners out there, the Parkrun is an absolutely fantastic event which takes place every Saturday morning attracting runners from far and wide. Enjoy orienteering? Well thanks to the East Pennine Orienteering Club, the park now has 3 virtual orienteering courses which can be accessed using the MapRun app on your mobile device. Various events held throughout the year such as the recent Halloween Trail which my family thoroughly enjoyed. The park has an active Friends of Group and a number of improvement works have already taken place following public consultation events and the formation of a development group made up of local services in Calderdale and North Halifax. These improvements include the restoration of the monument/fountain feature, resurfacing of the main paths within the park, a number of robust picnic benches being put in, larger waste bins, a volunteer bin with a code locked compartment which holds litter picking equipment for community volunteers to access. Overall I'd highly recommend a visit. It doesn't have the reputation of some of the better known parks in Calderdale but Shroggs really is a lovely little place, steeped in history and the perfect outdoor location to enjoy time with the family, or even some wind down time on your own with a stroll as I often do myself. My one real issue is down to a minority of irresponsible dog owners resulting in a ridiculous amount of dog muck which either myself or another parent has to remove from the main football pitch on a Sunday morning so the kids can enjoy their matches without the risk of sliding in it. Usually enough to fill a carrier bag.”

“Been struggling to find a dentist for such a long time. As someone who gets very nervous at the dentist after previous bad experiences I was dreading coming for a check up, but was made to feel at ease by Karen and Usma on arrival who were both super friendly and welcoming (also very much appreciated the reminder call from Karen the day before). The check up was thorough and quick with everything explained (thanks Ehmen!), couldn’t fault a thing.”

“Great shop was surprised how lovely it was inside really liked it and will for sure be back in, The Christmas selection was EXELLENT ...best i've seen in any shop good prices and great quality, the staff were nice too.”

“At 1700 in the evening it wasnt packed, it's set out well, never usually use Iceland but for convenience, being just round the corner... couldn't ask for more from a supermarket! Well done Iceland”

“Excellent place for the kids. It's just that the session time is little just 1 hour.”

“We recently celebrated my sister’s baby shower at Gomersal Park Hotel, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right — the room was set out how we wanted it -ready to decorate, the food was delicious, and the service was so friendly and attentive throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble, and the staff made us all feel so welcome. It was such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and my sister was over the moon with how beautifully everything came together. A huge thank you to everyone at Gomersal Park Hotel and Imogen especially for helping us create such special memories. I’d highly recommend this venue for any celebration — we’ll definitely be returning!”

“Fantastic hotel with outstanding staff. Just a note if you visit during warmer weather there is no air con on the 1st floor, not a criticism just worth bearing in mind. The staff make this hotel perfect as they are so attentive and helpful.”

“Stayed most of 1 night prior to early morning flight. Rooms usual Premier Inn standard. Extra tea, coffee etc available in reception. Had meal in adjacent Beefeater which was great. Hit cocktail hour (5pm) by chance and activated beefeater card for 50% off our food, so brilliant value. Taxi booked from hotel reception came exactly on time. Overall a stress free start to our holiday.”

“This park is a wonderful place for day visit and have a peaceful time with family. It has 2 lakes, one is small. Lots of ducks and fish roaming around in the lake. It has woodland and walking track. There are two small hills to climb up and see the whole city from there. It is very quiet, gives tranquillity when walking. Dog friendly. Seen many sign of BBQ though official notice hanging not to do so. Altogether had a wonderful afternoon and stayed till sunset. Enjoyed thoroughly. Definitely recommend. Parking available in the street next to the GP. In park parking closed, don't know why. No toilet facilities.”

“Got my medicine on time, good service and delivered well by luqman”

“Admittedly I hadn't been to Shibden Park in about 30 years, so it was nice to call in here for breakfast on our bank holiday weekend visit to my homeland. My partner had the large breakfast, which for the price was excellent. Lovely hashbrown! My teen daughter had the medium and I had a bagel and creme cheese. We have cappuccinos and an English tea. Plenty of seating outside and in, dog friendly both inside and out too. I am pleased I got to experience the cafe and park again in a less busy climate. Beautiful place full of memories ✨️”

“Caz on the paintmixing desk is an absolute legend, a trip to get paint should not be fun, it should be boring, but her attitude and overall demeanor meant it was a fun way to spend a little bit of time. I sincerely hope this is seen and she gets some well deserved recognition, staff like this stop people keep customers coming back!”

“No Longer High Park Wacky Watehouse, but now Hickory's Smoke House went for Father's Day. Lovely time and food was had by all”

“I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The place is extremely clean and well looked after, and the staff are absolutely amazing.

“Horton Park is a public park in Bradford, England, located to the west of the city in Great Horton. It was opened on 25 May 1878 on land purchased by Bradford Council in 1873. The park was designed by William Gay landscape gardener and surveyor. The park provides bowling greens, and a children's play area, as well as floral decorations. Bradford Council retain ownership of the park but, the park is primarily looked after by Glendale on contract. The bowling greens are open to the public from April to September each year. Vehicular access to the park is by permit only.”

“Thrilled. water falling down from 50 feet tall dam. Surround by natural beauty. Lush green, mountains and nature treks.”

“Nice park to go to. Has benches to sit on . Memorial to the fallen of the Boer war. Children's play area. And you can walk your dog here.”

“Food was beautiful and so much choice! The service was excellent, all waiters were attentive and we didn’t feel rushed. Had a couple of beers and ordered our food slowly making a night of it. Really busy inside, good atmosphere with lots of families enjoying time together. They have a brilliant 3 course meal deal through the week (5pm-7pm) which has so much choice and less than £20! Definitely returning here, could not fault it. Licensed bar, good choice of drinks to choose from. There is something on the menu to fit everyone’s palate with a wide range of vegetarian options available also.”

“Excellent food. The Flama chicken was amazing. It was tasty and well cooked. Service was ok. Think they had a staff shortage. Cleanliness can be improved. Slightly disappointed with the kids meal though. Was expensive for what you get as the chicken nuggets were processed and not proper fillets. Accept card payments. Pay first system. HMC Approved.”

“Highly recommended for asian groceries. Fresh veg. fresh meat. Very corporative staff. Parking at rear allways available.”

“This hotel is five star plus everything about the hotel is great, the decor is bright cheerfull warm and welcoming. The public areas are spacious super clean and comfortable you can relax in stylish modern surroundings. My only concern as a fist time visitor to bradford on route to another destination was the lack of knowledge of a member of staff to help me with answes to my questions about how to get to the local interchange train station and bus depot all of which apparently are very close by this was on check in teatime on the opposite scale of knowledge at breakfast another member of staff told me everything I needed to know so I think if these amenities are near to the hotel the staff should be able to advise guests on details or at least ask some one else to help maybe make a list to keep on reception of guest questions how to get to train station etc bus depot even bus stops sounds simple but as a guest I did not know I ended up getting a taxi which was maybe an expense I did not need”

“Great little Hotel very handy for Leeds and Bradford. The girl we met was Kristin very polite and helpful nothing was too much trouble for her. Great experience.”
