Play Areas

There are three play areas in the village: Carr Bridge, Low Ackworth and Brackenhill.

Carr Bridge

The play area at Carr Bridge was refurbished in 2012 and named after Roy Hirst, who had served the community as a Parish Councillor for over 40 years. This is a well used play area and a great addition to the already wonderful facilities at Carr Bridge playing field.

Low Ackworth

In October 2025, Ackworth Parish Council proudly welcomed councillors and children from Ackworth Howard School to officially re-open the Low Ackworth park. With the support of our Ward 1 District Councillors, the outdated wooden equipment was replaced with an existing new play area, designed to provide a fun, safe, and engaging space for children up to 13 years old.

Brackenhill

Brackenhill play area was refurbished in 2007 at the same time as the community centre was opened and drainage work carried out on the playing field.
