Really lovely well maintained park, my teenagers loved the gym area, fantastic resource as so often we visit parks and places and there’s nothing for over 12s

Handy parking (£1 or free with membership) nice views and good facilities.
Dog-friendliness: One side is free for dogs to run off the lead, but the other side is not.

Nice park. Did parkrun here on a Saturday morning, though paths are very muddy at the moment. Nice little Scarecrow trail there over Easter, and obviously it's a great place to start a hike up Hoad Hill to the monument.

I took my granddaughter to the scarecrow exhibition in the walled garden and it's wonderful, always something interesting to see in the park. There is also an activity park and decent cafe

Children's playground is full of Playdale equipment and it is well spread out and grouped in age ranges. The equipment is set in a soft surface and is surrounded by grassy hillock. There are also a variety of keep fit machines on the far side of the park. Regular park runs take place here. There is a cafe in the summer months and events throughout the year.

Lovely little park. Outdoor gym and play area. At the end of the park is a lovely walled garden that you can walk around, and there is a cafe. Carry on ahead and walk up to the monument if you are feeling energetic. Great views on a clear day, we managed to spot Blackpool Tower.

We visited Ford Park having arrived in Ulverston quite late in the afternoon, and just wanting somewhere to go that was dog-friendly, that would be suitable for my two youngest daughters to play, and also where I could walk with my mum who is now getting on in years. Ford Park delivered! I opted for the park as its very close to the monument/lighthouse and can be accessed from there.
Even though the park has opening and closing times it is, in actual fact, accessible 'out of hours' as there is no gate that is locked. You can actually drive into the park (single track road) and park in a small area. side. I actually noticed a few cars parked on the grass.
My girls thoroughly enjoyed playing on the park amenities. Just past the house (in the middle of the park) there is also a lovely enclosed garden area that is run by friendly volunteers. You can buy plants and horticultural goodies there too. There also looks to be a cafe there. My dog also loved playing in the park.
