Cripplegate Park

Cripplegate Park is a Green Flag-awarded town park in Worcester, sitting on New Road opposite the County Cricket ground. With formal flower beds, mature trees, open grassed areas, a children's play area, tennis courts and bowling greens, it has the classic all-rounder feel of a well-kept municipal park — the kind that earns its keep on any day of the week.

It works well for easier dog walks when you want greenery without heading far out, and it is practical for mixed outings where the humans also want a proper park rather than just a dog loop. Dogs are welcome on leads throughout, and the open grassed areas give them plenty to sniff and explore while the paths keep transitions from pavement to grass straightforward.

A solid choice for strolls, sniffing and a bit of everyday fresh-air reset. The kind of park that handles both the planned walk and the spontaneous detour when someone spots a promising patch of grass and refuses to move on.
