About Bitts Park

Bitts Park is a welcoming public park located at Dacre Road, Carlisle CA3 8UZ. It’s a versatile outdoor space featuring a play area, seasonal splash park, skate park, outdoor gym, flat surfaced paths, and gardens. The Hadrian's Wall National Trail runs along the riverside boundary, making this a great starting point for a family day out or a nature stroll. We’ve got you covered with parking, transport, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you plan your visit with ease.

Whether you’re here for a casual afternoon with the kids, a jog on the running routes, or to catch a local event like the Carlisle Fireshow, Bitts Park is central to Carlisle’s urban and natural landscape. Remember: parking and access may vary by event; check details below for specifics on your date.

Tips for getting the most out of Bitts Park: arrive early for peak events, use the pay-and-display parking nearby, and access the site via pedestrian routes from Hardwicke Circus or Eden Bridge. For longer stays, consider nearby hotels in Carlisle and a bite to eat at local restaurants. If you’re joining a Fireshow or other large gathering, note that Castle Car Park (formerly Devonshire Walk car park) is used for event activities. We’ve highlighted trusted hotel and restaurant partners to help you secure comfortable accommodations and dining close to the park.
