6 swings with tyres around them, confused me as to the reason why.
Blue mesh circular swing,
Up & down planks.
Wheel thing, not certain what called.
Roomy green place & quiet.

Pleasant enough to let the kids have a run around

A lovely place to let the kids run free and a lovely cafe to refresh yourselves.

Unfortunately drainage at the playground is an issue, so expect to come back with muddy children.

I went to Ford Park on Sunday just for a stroll and a coffee it's now been taken over by a group from the local community. I wasn't disappointed, it's a lovely space to chill. The Tea shop is lovely with pleasant staff and surroundings, there are seats outside too so nice on a sunny day. The food is good maybe a bit on the pricey side considering it's a charity run by a Community Group. I had a Herb scone with cream cheese and relish delicious! Perhaps it would be better to put the cream cheese and relish in separate bowls rather than the small kilner jars as they were a little difficult to empty. My friend had welsh rarebit and a side of fries which was declared beautiful.
The Garden Centre side of the business was looking good with lots of plants fruit and veg ready for potting in preparation for Easter. If you're up that way and at a loose end do pop in, if you fancy a walk to make way for food you could always walk up to Ulverston Old Man we declined I remember walking up there in my childhood the memory was all I needed to work up my appetite.

The Coach House Cafe is a great asset to Hope Park. Met up with friends for morning coffee. Very reasonably priced, good quality and piping hot. Will return at a later date for lunch.

What a lovely set up. The gardens produce food for the cafe and the grounds are used by the community (short walkways, open field, playground, dog walking area, room hire etc)). All run by volunteers and managed (with some paid staff) by a charity. No longer financed by the Council and with limited grant funding, it has to support itself by volunteer helpers (gardeners, groundwork, repairs,maintenance, various projects) and the cafe. Current drive to get more people to make a small monthly subscription and/or to volunteer. A case of use it or lose it!

Great place to stretch your legs, let the kids play or take the dog for a stroll

The park is free every day . Dog walkers welcome and adventure playground and walks for kids. The cafe has outside seating and nice food and the kitchen garden opposite is open to wander about in. Kids love it and some good activities are organised from Easter onwards for them.

Good simple food, good service and nice environment. Also has a liscence but bottled beer a trifle expensive.

Lovely place

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.

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.

Great Potential

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!

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

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.
