This was the first time at Rowntree Park. We were there for a purpose (The Yorkshire Marathon) so weren't too bothered about facilities as long as we could be as near the marathon start as possible (at the university). However, we were greatly surprised by the number and quality of the showers etc. It's not the greenest of sites, but who needs grass when there's Rowntree Park itself next door and some great walks along the river bank. The walk into the city centre was relatively flat and traffic free (again along the river bank). The wardens were very welcoming and helpful and all in all, it was very pleasant few days on the site. Would we return? Definitely!
