           Health site of the year



           Frickley Country Park was the winner of the Land
           Trust’s Health Site of the Year award in 2019.
           Alongside parkrun there is a wide variety of health
           activities happening with Nordic Walking and ladies
           fitness sessions proving popular. The football pitches
           are well used with over 5,000 visits to the four pitches
           in 2018-19, with several youth teams using them as
           their base.
            The football pitches and parkrun events have
           brought hundreds of new visitors to the park, many
           of whom now visit for walks and runs on their own.
           The site is now more popular with locals, with many
           choosing to walk their dogs or take a relaxing walk
           on the park.
