The 30 Best Park in York

“Skye won an hour's play at Elementary Dog Park which was kindly donated to help support our local RSPCA summer fair! Skye is a reactive dog and a fence jumper so privacy and security are the most important things to us in a dog park. We felt very secure within the premises, with parking spaces for multiple cars within the park and proper 6ft fencing with no nearby mounds to discredit the height! Skye loved zooming across the field and using the equipment. Then spent half her time recovering in the shade. Thanks for donating the session, we'll be back again, no doubt!!”

“The BIGGEST thank you to Tom who helped me with ski boots - the most patient & friendly member of staff I could have hoped to come across. Not only this, but he was extremely knowledgeable about ski boots, the correct fits, and even the sport itself. Nothing was too much, despite trying on and needing him to adjust multiple pairs of boots. Tom is an absolute asset to the store - thank you so much.”

“Dropped off our car with a couple of issues, new water pump & auxiliary belt diagnosed & fitted in the same day. Brilliant service.”

“I highly recommend YDP, especially Alex Wan. He has provided great care for me and my family, especially my teenage son who was quickly referred to the hospital for braces when Alex noticed he had problems with his adult teeth. He recently extracted two of his adult teeth in preparation for the brace and he was amazing. He took the time to explain the process, answered his questions and gave him a stress ball to squeeze as he was quite anxious. My son didn't even feel the numbing injections going in, it was incredible! The whole practice is great, they really take care of you. My husband and I are on dental plans, and our two children are free NHS. I'm so glad we chose to go with them.”

“Amazing customer services - Nick was fantastic and went the extra mile to be helpful! I could not recommend more, Nick was extremely friendly and used his vast knowledge of available products to help me chose a compact and highly efficient pressure washer! I could not be any happier with my experience!!”

“So had a take out delivered to our campsite, delivered on time, delicious food, big portions, hot, well packed and really tasty, definitely order again, highly recommended.”

“Amazing experience from booking through to receiving my scan results. My GP refused me a scan on my foot and ankle after I was given 4 diagnosis from physio and GP but not seeing an improvement in my condition. So I booked with ultrasound direct to pay privately to see what was going on with my foot and ankle. I was given a warm welcome at york and the scan was completed quickly and I now have a definitive diagnosis to work with....albeit something none of the physio or GP considered! Really happy with ultrasound direct and I wouldn't hesitate to return in future if I needed to.”

“Nice campsite within a wooded area. Toilets and showers lovely and clean. Also washing up area with washing machine and dryer available for a fee. Nearby dog walk. Nags Head pub a good walk away but worth it as food excellent. Would not hesitate to book there again.”

“Incredibly well designed and maintained gardens that are attractive all year round. The annual themed garden (this year Wallace and Grommet) is always a treat, and the playground is very well equipped for all ages of children. The Meadow section, with its more natural design, has come a long way, and is great for a stroll or a picnic. Probably our favourite gardens in York. Would benefit from a permanent cafe, but the Explore Library mobile Cafe and tent are good, and the Youth Hostel cafe (good coffee and cakes) is only a short walk around the corner.”

“Friendly, fast, efficient and great products at great prices. This particular branch is very well located for those who live centrally too, it's walking distance from the city centre, rather than having to drive out to Clifton Moor.”

“Beautiful hotel, very close to train station and a short walk from the main shopping area of York. We had a lovely visit, and most of the staff were very courteous, welcoming and friendly. The room was well presented and we had a very comfortable bed. It is a higher priced hotel and you could see the attention to detail and little touches that made it special. We were slightly disappointed that we didn't receive the same warm level of greeting as other guests. It was a stay we'd saved for and had looked forward to very much. It was obvious they had regulars, which is fantastic and means the hotel gets it right as a general rule. But it would have been nice if we'd had a little conversation with the check-in member. The couple being checked in next to us were being asked very general questions like where they'd travelled from, creating a little conversation, but we didn't get the same; just a hello and asked about what card we wanted to put on file for incidentals and then silence. I did attempt to make a little polite conversation with the receptionist but it was clear that they were not interested. It made us feel a little awkward. Asking simple customer service questions makes guests feel welcome and at ease, which we didn't experience at that point. On checking out it was better; we were asked if we'd enjoyed our visit to York, where we were going back to, etc. It made us feel more welcome, even though we were checking out. All in all though, our check in experience hasn't put us off booking in again at some point. Chances are it was an exception to their usual level of service.”

“Had the Armadillo experience, worth every penny. The keeper Ryan was very knowledgeable and passionate about animals, and the environment, learned a lot. The armadillos are soooo friendly!!! Spent the day the there, the animals are well looked after, great park, lovely friendly staff. If you visit now they have baby meerkats !!!!”

“Just got back from a wonderful trip to york, the market, and Christmas lights werea joy. The naburn lock caravan site was fabulous, great staff very very helpful ( special thanks to Kevin for all his help) The amenities so so good, first time I've not used our caravan shower so I could enjoy the large brand new shower suite ;) Love adult only quiet site, with large pitches. Will go again xx”

“A lovely park with lots of interesting pathways. Great for dogs too. Super colours in autumn and the walkway would be awesome in summer as it is covered in Wisteria”

“Excellent park within easy reach of York. Has an excellent play park which my daughter loved. It's well kept here.”

“What a great little find. We found this place after a brisk stroll in the park and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Friendly service, great atmosphere, yummy coffee and the best bit was that we had to wait 10 minutes for the scones to finish baking! Delicious!”

“First time going here today, and I’ve never ever seen owt like it!! The place is insane, so so much to do and keep the kids busy all day. We was here from 10.15am till 4.10pm. If it wasn’t for needing to get our train back to Leeds we’d of stayed until the place closed. All the staff were friendly, polite, smiles on their faces. They were there to help if needed! The boys were gutted to go home, and are already dying to come back again!! Thank you for such an amazing day, and for a big well done for all the staff working 21/08/25, you worked your backsides off!! Xx”

“A real hidden gem, clean and has had a big upgrade lots of new bits for all ages. Never overly busy and even with lots of parties (which are also fab we've had one here.) there's so much to go and lots of trampolines”

“It was wet(again). We had the grandkids. They needed to burn some energy. An ideal spot. Plenty of equipment but beware of other children. Some can be using parts which are too old for them.”

“Location - great, 10 mins walk to York. Staff - friendly and super efficient, a pleasure to see a team working so well on a very busy breakfast shift - much better than many large corporate chain hotels we have stayed in. Breakfast - decent breakfast with a good range of options. Room - good size, very clean and warm. Parking - very reasonable price for parking in York. Stay again - definitely. Value - very good. Recommend - absolutely. Overall - spot on, far better than many places we've stayed in.”

“Very informative & helped us plan our day.”

“Great service. Booked easily, straight in, tyres changed and back out. Really friendly guy on entrance and also let us a charger for my son to play on his device while waiting”

“I had my second knee replacement under the care of Mr Cash in September. Everyone at the hospital were really kind and caring. Mr Cash explains everything in layman’s terms and is very approachable. A good experience all round.”

“Lovely comfortable hotel, lovely staff. Lovely hot buffet breakfast. 3rd time staying here. Close to train station and a few minutes walk into York itself. Would recommend.”

“Great place to stay, great for just adults or with children. we stayed in our camper van. Great pub on site all the facilities you need would highly recommend.”

“The atmosphere was buzzing. It was so busy throughout the evening yet the staff remained friendly and bright and service of food didn’t seem affected. Great atmosphere and Great food”

“Always have great products with excellent price.”

“Brilliant to keep kids entertained for hours but closes a bit early there is a football pitch /basketball court, a park and a park for younger ones there is a ping pong table and an area to sit just outside the park there is a small body of water with ducks and stuff in”

“I’ve just returned from Nuffield York after a hernia operation, and the care I received was outstanding. Mr. Chitsabesan and the whole team were fantastic — professional, kind, and reassuring throughout. Nurse Tori Rosheen was especially helpful and patient, answering all my questions with a smile. The facilities were spotless, calm, and comfortable. I felt completely at ease and very well looked after. Thank you Nuffield York!”
