Lovely walk, clean and quiet. There is a fishing pond for those who fish, lots of little paths through woodland areas. Great place for a stroll, very scenic to say its in Barnsley town centre. Enjoyable for dog walkers, there are paths for when its wet, but gets muddy off the beacon track if you dont mind muddy feet. There are picnic benches around the pond, but the downside to this gorgeous place no rest room facilities along the way. There is also a skateboard park and plenty of parking.

Lovely little walk. My girls enjoyed seeing the ducks (including the little ducklings!) and the new paths are great for pushchairs. The only downside was a group of youths smoking drugs near the lake making the whole area smell unpleasant.

Wonderful outdoor space to relax in. Great for family picnics, there are tables provided. Lots of grassy areas for children to fall down on! Feed the ducks with peas or sweetcorn not bread.

A woodland and park reclaimed from the previous canal system. A section of which is available for fishing. Still retains some of the original structures that once took the canal over the valley. Using the path adjacent to the Aldi store, which, by the way, has parking for a few cars, it is only a 10 minute walk to the lake. There is a car park at the lake for many cars and a skateboard lay out. Most paths are wheelchair accessible and others are only accessible by foot. It is only 3 or 4 minutes by car from Barnsley town centre.

A lovely place to visit for a relaxing walk, or just to sit and watch the nature. All year round. Free to use. And looking beautiful now thanks to the amazing litter picking volunteers. Enjoy this beautiful, area, but please respect it too. not too many places like this left in the area, so let's treasure it.

Amazing views plenty of space loads of picnic tables and benches to rest . Didnt see any litter at all only round the skate park . Perfect for little explorers
