Public toilets open during Park staff working hours: Monday - Thursday 7am - 4.15pm Friday. 7am - 12.30pm Closed Saturday and Sunday, as there are no longer weekend staff employed. Winter hours open 7.45, but closed all day Friday.

Parking is on the roadside adjacent to the park. There is no parking within.

So sorry to have missed this question and my apologies for such a delayed reply... No there is not a car park but there is plenty of street parking in the two roads that run alongside the park They are quiet and the park is not fenced off along a lot of the boundary. We never find a problem parking and we have been there with our dog at all different times of the day.

Yes, fine on a lead. If the dog won't run off and is OK with children, other people & dogs, then off lead would be OK too. Further down the hill the paths are less frequented and there are fairly wild areas around the old railway line, which are good for my dogs, although it can be a bit dismal down there if it is wet or grey.

There's a pond with a pond-dipping platform. Look for the map on fobp . co . uk

Come into Huddersfield via Leeds Road, around the ring road & take the Sheffield road (A616) to Lockwood, then take the B6108 signed Meltham, after 260 metres take the diagonal right turn, Hanson Lane for 350 metres, then straight on it becomes Beaumont Park Road, after a further 700 metres the entrance to the park is on your left. The postcode is HD4 7AY if you have sat nav.

The top area is ideal for wheelchairs, but as the park is on a steep slope, parts lower down are accessible only by very steep steps & paths.

The outside path measures about 1.5 miles, but there are so many paths within the perimeter, you might clock up 4 or 5 miles if you follow all of them.
