This Local Nature Reserve and urban park is situated off Beechwood Drive within walking distance of several schools in North Halifax. This Park offers great facilities to cater for all ages and preferences including play areas, football pitches, a bike track, crown green bowls and for those of you who enjoy working out, you can have a go on the outdoor gym equipment. For the nature lovers and those who might just enjoy a peaceful walk, you can head to the top side of the park where you will find several paths leading into the woodland area which is home to a variety of wildlife including roe deer, rabbits, foxes and not to mention a variety of butterfly’s insects & bird life, including woodpeckers.
You may also be aware that Beechwood Park used to be the site of Holmfield Army Camp. (Pictured to the right) More photos available at http://www.halifaxpeople.com/Historic-Holmfield.html
Keep an eye out for upcoming events and activities including our I Like to Move It event on Saturday 2nd September – 1pm to 4pm where local physical activity providers will be holding stalls to showcase some of the activities on offer in the area. Interested in volunteering? There’s also a small group of community volunteers who carry out a monthly litter pick with the next scheduled for Saturday 12th August 2023 at 11am. As well as litter picks the group will be looking to expand into different activities such as balsam bashing and helping to clear out the parks pond.
If you would like to get involved with some of these volunteer activities contact one of our Ward Link Workers Dan and Natalie at Daniel.Marham@calderdale.gov.uk or Natalie.Ratner@nhpltd.org.uk, call us on 01422 252029.
