Fantastic park we have recently started to explore. There are two play areas for children, a beautiful lake to walk around or fish at, football fields and do many different trails to explore. Having two dogs it's great to see the amount of trash cans available to make been a responsible owner that much easier. There is a cafe I am yet to try but looking forward to doing so.

I love this park and I have only been a couple of times so far. The main entrance on the north side is best for familys, as it pulls up right onto the large carpark and café area. Just off this are football greens and a play park, to get to the pond you have to go down a short steep hill, I think there is another way round to the west, which is much longer and less steep. If you do not do well with hills and want to walk round the pond or have dogs and want somewhere shady to walk, I suggest parking on the south side where the pin for 'Holme Brook Valley Exercise Park' is. This lower car park is directly near the outdoor gym, with another play area, and getting to the pond from here is a much gentler slope for anyone with problems with joints/arthritis. The car park there is much smaller but still a decent size when its not too busy.

Great country park, fairly well maintained, we come here regularly for a leg stretch and to see wildlife. Fab lake to walk along and birdwatch. Only downside is lack of toilet facilities, only 1 toilet block in the whole park- and this is frequently closed at seemingly serendipitous times.

Holmebrook Valley Country Park is a lovely place to go for a walk, the forests here are really beautiful, especially with all the autumnal colours.

It's a great place to take your dog, there are lots of areas you can take them off the lead, including an enclosed area specifically for dogs to play around in.

There is a playground next to the northern car park that is perfect for children to play while parents can watch from the nearby benches. You can find another playground about half way around one of the trails, additionally there is also an outdoor gym that can be found in the same area.

Restrooms are next to the play park at the northern car park. Easy to find & accessible.

There's lots of benches distributed throughout the park, with a couple of picnic benches. You can find some picnic benches next to the enclosed dog play area, and there are also some picnic benches by the northern car park.

The walk itself is mostly flat, however there is a downhill/uphill segment at the beginning & end of the circuit. Besides that, there are no other notable hills. The trails are easily accessible for prams and mobility vehicles.

Enjoyed visiting here with my dog, it's a really peaceful place with a lovely lake. Lots of other doggies to play with if that's something you're looking for. Just be aware that there may be dogs running around off the lead, but from my experience here they've all been well trained.

Lovely area to walk around. The cafe is a very welcome haven with fabulous treats. Looks available as well as good parking and a small children's playground although this can be muddy .

Yet another beautiful park in Chesterfield, lots of parking,cafe and toilets.
I believe this is the biggest park in Chesterfield with lots of trails to follow, children's play areas,a lake, and it's great for dogs Another big plus is you can walk straight into Linacre Reservoirs so do 2 parks together if you are feeling full of energy
Definitely somewhere to spend a whole day in the summer
