Rothay Park is a popular park situated in the centre of Ambleside, it is surrounded by a dramatic landscape and offers a gateway to some of the most beautiful fells in the Lake District.

The park provides lots of opportunities for play and relaxation for both residents and visitors of all ages and abilities, from a full size football pitch and children's play area to picnic benches, large grassed areas and natural rock outcrops.

Following the devastating effect on the park caused by Storm Desmond we have some funding to move the play area to a new location to reduce the risk of flood damage and to improve the picnic area.
