History

The park was formerly the grounds of Whitby Hall, a Victorian house built in the 1860s by the Grace family,[2] until being bought by the district council in 1931 and turned into a park. Whitby Hall is now used as a youth theatre[3] and café.

Facilities

The park has formal gardens, football pitches, a climbing area, a basketball court, tennis courts, crown green bowling, dog walking, skatepark, a wooded copse, fish pond and two children's play areas.
