Green Flag Award winning Crow Nest Park is one of Kirklees primary parks. It is set on a sunny south facing hillside with outstanding views over the surrounding towns and countryside and contains a number of major attractions including an adventure playground, museum, formal lawns, greenhouse with fernery, café, sports facilities, walled wildflower garden and an ornamental lake.
The park was designed to bring a feel of the countryside into what was, at the time, a very industrial area, with most of the town's residents employed in the many nearby textile mills.
