A great place to relax. Be sure to observe the signs that segregate dog walkers to one side and children to the other. Sad to see that part of the grass has been built over for new housing. Whilst you are there check out the excellent Coach House for coffee and lovely meals.

We were at the park during the Ulverston Lantern Festival and it was brilliant. Everyone had made such an effort and there was music and fireworks too!

What a great little community park. We were visiting the area and went for the car boot sale that was held on a Thursday. It has a great play area for kids, nice gardens/nature trail and a lovely café. Well worth a visit.

Came to the apple festival to have our apples made into juice. It was free of charge and very well organised as well as being great fun. There were a number of stalls and arts and crafts for sale. The gardens sell plants and veg which are reasonably priced. The on-site café is lovely. The food is really nice and on this day they had a hog roast which was delicious. A lovely play area for children.

We holiday frequently in the area and I always try and take my boys to this park, there are quite a few things to do and they are spaced out and you can spend a good amount of time there. There is also the monument to walk up to and a cafe nearby which I have not been in yet but looks ok

A visit for lunch with a group of girly friends, we had a delicious lunch and all really rated our food.
I had the best slow cooked beef sandwich very tasty and the beef was so tender.
There is good veggie options as well.
A great place to go for something a little different.

Its a great place for tea and cake/toast etc, before strolling up the Hoad. Nice park and the garden opposite is both interesting and a bit of a sun trap. Well worth a visit.

I visited these premises with my family.
Food was excellent, and service good.
Within walking distance of Ulverston town centre.
A nice place to take the kids after a visit to Ford Park or a walk up the Hoad

Great place to eat out with friends for lunch, plus they do themed nights and these too are great fun. Lovely to walk around the garden and buy plants

Parked here to walk up Hoad Hill, which was great. Stopped at the cafe for coffee and cake. Between us we had a scone, flapjack and millionaire shortbread - all were huge! Cafe was clean and welcoming and a lovely place to relax.

Stopped in here after a walk up to the Hoad, which has some great views over the local area. Cafe area is bright and clean, but what sets this place aside was the quality of the food. The cream tea was superb, and as a regular walker in Devon and Cornwall I know what I am talking about. I can definitely recommend this place for those in need of an invigorating lunch. There is also a nice garden, to walk off your indulgence, and an adventure playground a short walk away so the children can do the same - enjoy.

Great little cafe, love sitting on the terrace under the Hoad when the sun's out. Sandwiches come with a tasty salad and couscous and the Eggs Benedict is a favourite of mine!

Large open space and nice cafe although often busy

Gardens and cafe to visit and the volunteers who help to run the cafe are great. The cafe as a dog friendly area and the food is good especially if you have climbed the Hoad as we had done. We only had light snacks and delicious coffee and enjoyed being there for our first time, our daughter told us about this place and have put it on our list to visit in summer.

It is in two parts, the park area for children and a community garden, both of which are several hundred yards apart. We visited the gardens which are located opposite the Coach House Café and Bistro..... You can't miss it! There is a mural on the wall outside, inside the gardens there are things of interest for both adults and children to look at. If your lucky you can buy fresh vegetables that have been grown in the gardens.
Well worth a visit and it's free!

my friend and I met up in Ulverston for a dog friendly break and have been very impressed. Ford Park was just 15 minutes walk away and we had a lovely morning there. there was plenty to explore and the café is excellent - with a dog friendly bit inside. it is at the foothill of The Hoad Monument, so this walk could be added if you wanted-my friend did this whilst I explored the kitchen garden.

After coming down from the Hoad, the kids wanted to play on the Zip wire, unfortunately it had been disable.
However we enjoyed our picnic from the hike and the kids enjoyed the rest of the rides in the park
