Rickerby Park — Local services in Carlisle

When I was a schoolboy, I used to run around that Rickaby park it was near the prefabs Saint Saint Patrick’s School headmaster Mr Wall and I knew all the teachers names too long to put it on. Was great days. It was a beautiful park then magnificent, beautiful, the river beside it lots of fishermen fishing that was a long time ago. I am an old man now and I’ll see in the pictures and the bridge good memories it was beautiful then and still beautiful.

1 star for our experience today shortly after 2pm. Should be no stars but not an option. Unfortunately Rickerby Park far too busy now with covid 19. Went for a walk with our children and dogs.

Unfortunately Rickerby Park not a place for people if this is the type of person you come...

I originally come from Carlisle. I am astonished at how many people give it many stars and sing its praises. Yes it would be a lovely park if it was not full of cows and cow pats.

I have never heard of beautiful cities who have lovely parks putting cows in them. Certainly somewhere like Surrey for example there would be an outcry. This park would be a wonderful place for music festivals, arts and crafts, circus etc, what a missed opportunity. Cows belong in fields and on farms.
