Metal Steps.

Northcliffe Park may be known for the heavy hill on its entrance, but once you've hit the top, the park seeps nature and secrets. The open areas offer visitors a sense of wide space and open land, no matter how many people may be there.

Although the children enjoy themselves on the rusty swings and the traditional monkey bars, the play area is only a tiny section of Northcliffe. Two fields that sandwich the fun area, are often taken up my happy footballers having a kick around, and families using the park’s benches to have a picnic, sitting between forests and tress that are all around them.

The forest areas that make the park so picturesque are green all year round, as rabbits and squirrels are often spotted scattering around in piles of leaves and small broken twigs. Apart Form these animals, something else is planted in the woods. A miniature railway track ran by The Bradford Model Engineering Society offers to take children for free rides around a section of the park, even going under a miniature bridge. Occasionally adults take a ride too, looking silly but protecting their children as they glide through tall grasses.

The park also consist of three circular walks, suitable for all the family (including your doggies), views over Bradford, tennis facilities and a lot of allotments.

Take a trip to Northcliffe to climb the metal steps up to the dreaded monkey bars and the crumbling path that leads to a secret railway.
