About us

A large number of events are held in the parks every year, including concerts, festivals and agricultural shows. Some of the biggest annual events include the Bradford Mela and Bingley Music Live.

Park Rangers oversee the parks, ensuring they are kept clean, free of litter and safe and secure.

The Service has extensive horticultural nurseries that produce bedding plants and shrubs for use across the District.

It is also responsible for public open spaces, outdoor sports pitches, cemeteries and crematoria.
