Rowntree Park

Rowntree Park is a 20-acre (8.1 ha) park in York, England open to the public, featuring children's playgrounds, tennis courts, bowling greens, basketball court, skateboarding area and general areas for picnicking.

The park also features a large lake, a canal and a water cascade, and is home to many ducks, swans and Canada geese.

The park's outdoor swimming pool was demolished in the face of strong public protest in the 1980s.

The gates at the riverbank entrance are eighteenth-century and were given by the company as a memorial to the people of York who died in the Second World War.
