About
Keswick’s Hope Park is located between Derwentwater and the Keswick town centre. The park was originally used as grazing land for the railway coach horses. In 1925, Sir Percy Hope decided to dedicate the land which now forms Hope Park to the local community, opening it initially as a golf course in 1927. It was the wish of Sir Percy that the inhabitants of Keswick and visitors to the town could continue to enjoy the park ‘as a pleasure ground and garden for recreation and enjoyment’ and so after his death in 1974 Keswick Town Council was conveyed the park ‘on trust’ for the people of Keswick and the Hope Park Trust was established.
Today, visitors can enjoy the park’s magnificent floral displays, putting, pitch and putt, boules and obstacle golf, visit the bird viewing area or have a drink or snack in wonderful surroundings at Café Hope.
The park is all on one level with no steps and is suitable for wheelchair users. The cafe and toilets are also accessible to wheelchairs.
