Beaumont Park is a stunning Victorian park with ornate features, cascades, grottos, steep cliffs and picturesque woodland walks for all the family, so it's is sure to get your imaginations going. It is open all year and free to visit, making it a great place to visit, whatever the season.

The park has been in existence for over 125 years, when Henry Frederick Beaumont, a wealthy landowner, first persuaded the Council that the people of Huddersfield deserved a public park! The park had fallen into disrepair by the 1960s, and it is thinks to the Friends of Beaumont Park, a voluntary group working with the local council, that it is being restored to its former glory. The restored Bandstand is now used throughout the year providing musical entertainment from jazz and swing, brass bands to carol singing.

There are football goals and a basketball area, plus younger and older children's play areas including traditional play equipment and wooden climbing and swinging equipment. The park has plenty of natural climbing opportunities, plus biking and scooting paths, and there is a Visitor's Centre contains toys and a cafe if you need respite from the weather. The centre also has various boards on display that provide a wide range of information about the park.
