Parks and open spaces

With allotments, parks and nature reserves, there are many ways to enjoy our open spaces.

Allotment gardens

Why buy pre-packaged vegetables when Calderdale Leisure Services has a choice of garden allotments available; for a small outlay and a little effort your family could benefit from fresh home-grown produce.

Fishing

Information on fishing licensing and rights of access to fish from Council land.

Guided walks

A comprehensive programme of guided walks organised by Calderdale Council's Countryside Service.

Local parks and playgrounds

Spread throughout Calderdale, numerous parks and open spaces are just waiting to be discovered.

Nature reserves

Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are for both people and wildlife. They are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally.

Paths and bridleways

Calderdale has a rich heritage of well-marked and maintained paths to explore. Of extra benefit are the long-distance routes which pass through the area.

Sports pitch and facility hire

Sports pitches are available for hire either for a "one off" activity or for a season.

Tree preservation orders (TPOs)

Calderdale Council helps to protect trees and woodland through the use of tree preservation orders (TPOs). Find out more here.
