Happy Mount Park

About The Park

Happy Mount Park was originally created in the 1920s as a traditional urban park area. It has had a varied history with many unusual attractions such as wild animals (with, believe it or not, a bear!), a boating waterway and various other attractions. Today attractions cater for the modern day family, whist still allowing parts of the park to capture the peace and tranquillity of a traditional park.

Green Flag Award

In 2007 Happy Mount Park was awarded a Green Flag Award after being judged by the Civic Trust to be welcoming, safe, well maintained and that it encouraged community involvement. For further information about the Green Flag Award Scheme go to www.greenflagaward.org.uk

The Café in the Park serves a wide range of food and drinks with the emphasis on home-made and good value produce. The café is open 7 days a week.
