Hope Park Came to watch the Lakesman ironman in June, knew of Hope Park last time we watched the event and nice to see it again. Has beautiful gardens, loads of plants/trees and plenty of green space. A nice café selling drinks, snacks & ice creams, it also has an indoor & outdoor seating area. There is a mini golf course and a pitch & putt too.

Mini golf There is both crazy golf (busy with a poor concrete surface) and grass putting. We prefer the putting which is quiet and well maintained. Once you’ve finished your putting, lots of benches where you can relax.

Beautiful Hope park, Keswick What a lovely park this is. Ideal to take your lunch to. Max the miracle dog bench is situated in a lovely spot where you can have your photograph taken with his bronze statue. Well maintained and has a cafe and pitch and putt. Plus a short walk to Derwent water for a leisurely stroll too.

Great experience -memory lane pitch and putt. Having played this pitch and putt course 48 years ago on our honeymoon we were keen to revisit the experience. Considering the volume of traffic the course is incredibly well maintained and quite a challenge with very good putting surfaces. The reception staff are exceedingly friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much for adding to our trip down memory lane. Much appreciated.
