Castle Hills Park is a public park on the edge of Mexborough, run by City of Doncaster Council. Its main draw for families is the outdoor scenery and the remains of an old motte and bailey castle, which children can explore on foot while learning about the site's medieval past. The park also contains a 19th-century bandstand and a war memorial, and it is used for remembrance services each year. Because it is an open space rather than a ticketed attraction, visits are free and informal: a good choice for a relaxed walk, a picnic or a run around after a visit to the nearby leisure centre. The council describes the park as home to iconic outdoor scenery, and it is best suited to families who enjoy outdoor history and open green space rather than indoor play or organised activities.
