City Park
City Park is a six-acre park in the heart of Bradford which will contain the largest man-made water feature in any UK city. It is due for completion this winter and an official celebration event will take place on Saturday, 24 March.
City Park will be a vibrant space for people of all ages to enjoy, with areas for rest, relaxation and play.
It is a critical part of Bradford’s regeneration and has been designed to bring jobs and prosperity to Bradford by attracting visitors and businesses into the district and helping to create the landscape for future investment.
