Prince of Wales Park, Gilstead

The park occupies about 7.3 hectares of hillside above Bingley including a disused quarry. It was laid out from 10 March 1863 (the wedding day of Albert, Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark, hence the name). It opened in 1865, with 15,000 trees having been planted in those two years. A bridleway and several footpaths run through the park, as do the Barden and Nidd raw water aqueducts serving Bradford and Bingley. The former quarry now acts as an outdoor performance area. Other features include a drinking fountain, artificial cascade, an open area of heathland and a children’s playground. But it remains mostly a wooded hillside. The park is in public use and managed by Bradford Council, and is listed grade II (list entry 1001497 includes a more detailed history and description).
