About Myrtle Park
Myrtle Park sits at the heart of Bingley, a traditional town park beside the River Aire within the Bradford district. For families there are two children's play areas: one with equipment for younger visitors and a larger space for older children that includes a climbing frame leading to a slide and an obstacle course. A skate park, opened in 2009, sits near the older children's play area. The park has plenty of charm beyond the playgrounds, including an aviary home to cockatiels, a menagerie with rabbits, a bandstand built in 1913, a war memorial and the Festival of Britain bridge. There are also bowling greens, tennis courts and basketball courts for older children and adults. Refreshments are available at Tarquin's Tea Rooms, housed in the historic pavilion. The park is open 24 hours a day, all year round, and is free to visit. It is located on Myrtle Grove, Bingley, BD16 2LQ. Accessibility information is available through AccessAble. With its mix of play, wildlife and heritage features, Myrtle Park is a popular family destination in the Aire valley.
