Travelled approx 10 miles to visit the park. Nice enough park to walk round and nice aviary and lakeside walk. Unfortunately had to leave because of lack of toilet facilities. The only toilets were in the cafe and were closed to the public but open for take away food at over inflated prices (£4.50 for a toastie) couldn't afford anything else. I'm sure cafes etc use covid as an excuse to close toilets and save them the bother of cleaning them etc. I believe if the cafe is open the toilets should be open otherwise shut the cafe as well. My local park at Batley has a better value nicer cafe with excellent toilet facilities and is only take away. It's simply a cop out. Will be going back to Batley in future.

Thornes Park is a more friendly park. It doesn't have many interesting facilities. It is similar to a community park. It is very large. There are many children experiencing some basic facilities. The lawn is lush, but I am not impressed by other things.
