Sightseeing
Locke Park is a 47-acre public open space and one of the largest outdoor green spaces in the Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England.
In 1861 Phoebe Locke, widow of railway pioneer Joseph Locke donated the Park for the benefit of the people of Barnsley. Phoebe gave the original 23 acres and her sister, Sarah McCreery gave further land in her memory in 1874. Sarah was also the instigator of Locke Park Tower, a 70 ft high monument built at the highest point of the park and designed by Richard Phené Spiers, a Paris-trained architect and Master of Architecture at the Royal Academy Schools, London.
On Saturdays, Parkrun, a five-kilometre run takes part which starts at 9:00 am. On Sundays, there is a 2 km run for under 14s which also starts at 9:00 am. There is a thriving bowls club in the park, also a playground and a small cafe.
