Hope Park / Keswick
Hope Park is a medium-sized park on the southern fringe of the popular town of Keswick and it's partner lake, Derwentwater. It is named after the benefactor Sir Percy Hope, who dedicated the land to the local community in 1925, wishing to provide "a pleasure ground and garden for recreation and enjoyment." Today, it provides a community space with various family-related activities including pitch and putt golf, a nature trail, a small floral garden, picnic areas, a bird hide, ice cream kiosk and dog-friendly café.
