case	Developments would like to see for park area.	Community Facility Building	Stop Anti-sociallBehvioiur - Warden	Fitness Zone	Community Events	Other
5	open the cafe, ( as sutton in craven has)
15	It would be great to have an area locked at night to prevent underage driking & litter. Better use of the bowling pavilion - could serve drinks ice lollies etc.
22	pavilion, serving drinks and snacks - such as the one at sutton park
24	Yes are path circuiting the park for running etc
30	The footpaths in the park near the skate park and the changing rooms are in terrible disrepair and need making good.  The changing rooms are dilapidated and could do with a major refurbishment / new building
32	A croquet lawn. It would not be large and could also be used for bowls practice.
33	Cafe in the park.
36	No dogs of lead of fowling of playing fields, toilets and cafe.
39	A fenced in dog park to let dogs off lead safely
40	Tidy up the bowling green, Tennis courts area.
41	there is a large piece of flat unused exmill i think, off the canal towards kildwick opposite airedale muse, it would make a good park
43	An athletics track painted on in summer. One of those 'outdoor gyms' for adults, with permanent physical exercise apparatus.
49	Croquet lawn.
69	Giving responsibility to the young people as a community project to keep the park free of litter especially glass.
74	ban dogs
76	Toilets
80	A FOR HIRE ALL WEATHER PITCH.
83	More community activity. More facilities toilet.Cafe etc. have it lets use it
85	Better drainage of grassed areas
95	cafe in park.
100	More public toilets
118	we take our son to the park and he loves it, perhaps if anything a renewed park play ground the truck thats in the baby playground is a bit dirty and there have been cigarettes found inside.
120	Safe environment for all residents of Silsden to use for sports and recreational. Nothing really needs developing on this land except improving current facillities and security.
122	Renovation of pavillion
125	totally dog free zones
126	Cafe perhaps run by and with the local community.  Youth council and volunteers.
137	A cafe pavillion, including toilets, like Sutton park has - ice creams in summer and teas and soups in winter. If you're with a child in the playground they run around and keep warm whilst parents freeze!  Be good for tourists to sit and enjoy the views too.
143	Leisure centre i.e gym, swimming
148	Cafe including some outdoor but sheltered seating say from Easter to October initially. could be combined with function as an information, local adverts etc area.
159	A development of the old 'white building' in Silsden Park to perhaps a nursery providing childcare to local people as the demand is very high
164	Small refreshment place.  Toilets (to be locked at night)
170	disabled parking within the park
171	the cafe reopened maybe on a 'friends of silsden' scheme like in sutton
179	Better drainage. In winter it becomes almost unusable
181	Organised tennis matches played on the courts in the park
197	Cafe, toilet facilities, garden area.  The park has never felt to be 'open to all'.  It feels like someone else owns it and that they are happy to let it go to ruin.  Below the Bowling green is lovely, and the play area has always been good.  The old building and the bowling green area could have a lot going for them if the area was more welcoming.
201	may be looking at better use of local events with the space that we have also the skate park is a terible design and vandalised you only have to look at glusbuns which is far superior!! maybe getting rid of the tennis courts that i have not seen any one use in years and move the bowling grren on to it?
206	The park is a mess - looking at other local parks (Glusburn and Sutton) ours is awful. We should look to develop the pavillion and run this as a village fundraiser providing tea coffee etc.. this would allow parents to buy drink and watch their children play - they would then use it more. I also think a park keeper as we used to have would be money well spent
217	None
218	More seating, a small cafe which i'd be quite happy to franchise/rent. Lots more climbing frames and swings etc. Maybe a small lake/large pond.
219	A dog agility area woudl be great!
224	keep dogs out of childrens play area
231	Used as a community space... have activities there
232	open air concerts/ plays
234	Re-furbishment of the pavillion in the park for use by all age groups, Trim Trail around the perimeter of the park to help promote fitness dogs should be kept on lead and fouling should be dealt with promptly by the owner (more enforcement needed)
245	Facilities for older people to help maintain mobility etc
251	Old changing rooms could be refurbished and used for a youth club or cafe.  Toilet facilities could be available.
260	more bins
262	Refreshments Kiosk, repair of coping stones which have been dislodged for several years. Nature Trail
266	A cafe selling ice cream and snacks in the summer, and warm food in the winter,along with tea coffee juice etc.. also toilet facilities, so many times I have been caught out with my children..
269	Running trails and outdoor gym
272	toilet facilities, small shop selling drinks/icecreams may attract more visitors
279	more vigorous enforcement of no dog fouling.
285	More sheltered areas in the park, with flower beds/shrubbery/landscaping and seating, so that people can sit and admire the flowers/planting and the views.
286	Tearoom/social facilites - meeting point. Adult excercise facilitires. Adventure type facilites for older children siliar to Ilkley.
294	Swimming Pool!
299	Toilets. Nearly everyone takes their children - no toilets. More activities for children if it is raining there is nowhere to take them in doors and nothing to do.
303	Cafe in the park over looking the children's play area as this would encourage more parents to the park and spend more time. An adventure playground / skate park for older children. Wild life area, i.e. pond
304	running track/fitness area
306	Inprove drainage on sports fields!
307	A cafe.
327	fitness track. organised outdoor fitness/ taster seesions.
329	running track
331	Renovate and open the pavillion.
337	no just keeping it clean and attractive - maybe restoring the pavillion
340	updated draining of the sport pitchers
345	More benches in the older childrens playarea, cafe or refreshment kiosk, fencing in of the older childrens area to prevent access by dogs, would be great to have a track where children could ride their bikes around the edge of the older childrens play area, toilets / baby change facility.
352	Make something of it! It is just a huge field, no garden no footpaths.
356	Sports Club House
358	Yes. The park buildings are in a very poor state of repair and could be made better use of.
363	more organised events
369	Tea Rooms
370	The old building near the bowling green  to be deveopled and possibly used as a Community Centre. Boarded up does not give a could impression to our lovely park area. Sutton Park is a really good example. More seating.... Improve the tennis courts
374	I think somewhere to buy refreshments would really be welcomed in the park, families with children, passers through and those that use the bowling green would make it a worthwhile venture
376	Changing facilities for Football/rugby. Use of the Bowling tea room as a cafe for all.
389	Let's Friends of Silsden Park group to repair and look after the original pavilion - it could a marvellous facility
392	There is a building which is unused in a central position in the park. It would be nice to have a cafe there, but I'm not sure if it would be financially viable.
398	Better equipt tennis court.
410	cafe and toilets
412	Picnic benches. Artwork on the skateboard area e.g. grafitti artwork that will appeal to teenagers.
414	The pavillon refurbished and used for refreshment in the summer months
415	gym style equipment for the adults to use
416	As above. Centre to be built by local trademan
423	Refurb of buildings at top end of park, they are very unsightly.  Poss development where basketball net is.
425	more facilities
431	Mobile van for hot drinks.
436	I would love to see the old pavilion restored - currently boarded up. It has in its foundations names of school teachers from the 50s.
439	Toilets.
441	Toilets.
442	Some positive use of the buildings which are at present locked up.
445	Better policed.
448	Toilets - perhaps small cafe/soft drink facility - clearing litter around the beck.
452	More seating. Path around path for older people so they can walk or take their wheelchairs. Some flower borders or planters along the path.
456	Good toilet facilities. The old changing rooms should be refurbished and perhaps used for youth activities.
458	Uncertain - I don't think the park area is a safe place at certain times.
460	Sort out the buildings by then tennis courts and bowling green. Better play equipment for older children... A teenage obstacle course, pyramid climbing frame, zip wire, and all weather cycle course around the perimeter of the park.
463	More parking space.
464	I would like to see people of any age being encouraged to clean up the mess they make when they use the park. I would like young people to take more care when using the paths in the park.
466	The old buildings in the park - near the bowling green, think used as changing rooms for football, could be made into an events building to let/coffee bar/parties/groups. The building looks very run down an eyesore for such a lovely park. The garden area in front of it need attending to, very run down.
467	I would like to see the cafe in the park reopened and toilets reopened. The park looks as though no pride has been taken with it. Its a great asset to the town.
480	A swimming pool, too long in coming.
483	Improve tennis courts. Pitch and Putt.
489	Pavilions and changing rooms in the park. Bowling club facilities.
491	More things for the children to play on – Silsden park is boring!
493	Cafe? Toilets if we are to have visitors, children's nature trails -educated, enclosed dry dog run – all in park. Old mills – little shops like Salts – but not as expensive. Monthly farm/local grown produce market. History of Silsden – nails, textiles, canal.
494	Maypole – close to Bolton Road entrance. Walled garden with herbaceous borders and wildflowers. Area of wildflower meadow to increase pollinating insects (this will save costs of mowing too!).
495	Flower beds etc so that it is a prettier place to visit.
499	Dog fouling.
501	Silsdners could use the slightly inclined area behind the top - and hold a craft/local produce/activities stall/events. Make if free to attend but charge the stall holders a minimal standard fee in summer.
506	Facilities for tea/ice creams etc during the summer months.
507	How about opening up the cafe facing the bowling green during the summer months.
518	No, it is perfect. The Bridge public house now up for sale would make a good tourist attraction if taken over as a restaurant catering for families and narrow boat users.
520	Toilets. Moe seating. Cafe. Garden/flower beds. Water feature. Paddling pool//water park.
521	No dogs allowed off leads.
525	Toilets, cafe in school holidays/weekends.
536	Better lighting at night.
548	Paddling pool in park and toilets in park.
549	I would like the stones back for the footpaths (where are they).
556	I would be happy to create a Café in the park.
560	Clear derelict buildings or repair and restore them - buildings by bowling green are an eyesore.
562	Café/toilets.
563	Pavilion and toilet building made fit for use - Sutton park a perfect example.
570	The changing hut demolished or refurbished and the weird building beside it is ugly and useless.
571	Public toilets. Tea/coffee/ice cream parlour - mobile perhaps to attract more adults to linger in the area.
572	Café/tea room and toilets.
573	Better drainage.
574	The café brought back into life.
577	Café, fitness trail (have seen these set up elsewhere). Ensure current facilities are well kept.
580	All weather football pitch.
588	Adequate.
592	Regular park security presence. Encourage use of tennis court and summer activities e.g. putting/mini golf/crazy golf etc, for children/young people.
596	I would like to see a town plan showing footpaths such as Skipton has posted on view in the main car park. I have tried both Skipton and Keighley libraries to no avail.
600	Organised activities. More park for older children. Small children play area is great.
603	More seats.
611	Silsden is famous for producing motor cycle trails. Riders out of town areas are being restricted by out of town councillors, keeps kids of the streets and keeps them fit and responsible.
616	Restoration of pavilion and water fountain incorporating tuck shop for children.
618	Café and toilets. Toilets more than anything.
619	Would like Rough Holden Farm to be allowed to continue to host motorbike trials.
626	Better drainage, café area, down by the stream could be developed into a picnic area in the park.
627	Toddler area. Cleaner. Toilets.
628	Refurbishment of the pavilion. Better maintained. More seats and flower beds. New bins.
668	A small café, weekends maybe.
669	Café/tea room operating in the summer time.
673	More things for children and adults to do together.
679	Café facilities and public toilets.
680	Putting Green.
683	A path round or a running track.
712	Perhaps a park café and a few more seats around.
714	Use for more communal projects, markets, concerts, fun days, barbeques etc.
717	Public toilets. A bigger skate park the current one is not adequate for the numbers that use it.
719	More facilities for older kids but more litter control and dog mess cleaning.
722	More wheelchair/scooter friendly pathways in the park.
724	Cycle path with obstacles - a development from the present skateboard area.
728	Café.
732	A comprehensive school. 6ft boundary fence around park/playing fields (no dogs).
738	I would like to see the untidy bushy area on the top slope above the rugby field severely reduced so that people on the top picnic tables and seats can see the progress of the rugby. This would make this area safer especially for youngsters.
739	Bands on summer weekends. Talent shows for kids. A snack bar, hot drinks etc.
744	Jogging track round perimeter of park.
745	Drainage of the area. A lot more monitoring of irresponsible dog owners. Refurbishment of paths and beds. An on site park warden. The big shed in centre to be turned into sport changing rooms and the other boarded up building to be refurbished and used possibly cafe and information centre. Also do not drastically pollard trees just because their blossom falls on parked cars.
746	A band stand. A cinema.
748	Toilets. Nearly everyone takes there children. No toilets. More activities for children if it is raining there is no where to take them in doors and nothing to do.
749	Refurbishment of pavilion in the park for use by all age groups. Trim trail around the perimeter of park to keep everyone fit. Dogs should be kept on leads and dog fouling should be dealt with promptly by owner.
751	Outdoor bootcamp.
752	Refurbishment of paths and steps (health and safety issue). Refurbishment of pavilion/changing room. More seating in all areas. More attention to flower beds and grass cutting, without cut grass being left covering the paths. Silsden is a poor relation to Bradford's Lister Park and Ilkley Riverside Park etc.
754	Tarmac court area, enclosed and fenced for dog exercise.
755	Please restore the small children's play area in the upper park. The ridiculous Americanisation in having a basket ball net is completely incongruous and I have never seen it used. My children enjoyed this area in the 1980s it was less intimidating than the large area where teenagers congregate.
756	More tennis courts and better care of the football pitches I.e. litter and glass.
758	Tea room.
759	A fixed cross country course. Nature trail/serious garden.
760	Better policing of drugs.
761	The changing rooms for rugby/football modernised, café incorporated.
765	Public convenience.
767	improvements/use of the old building near the tennis courts.
769	If tourism is to be promoted - improving impressions when people are approaching Silsden from the A629 junction is important. Disused land, and the commercial units off Belton Road, aren't attractive. Disused land can be landscaped (or build on). Commercial units can be hidden with more tree/hedge planting.
770	No. It would be better growing vegetables (a good healthy diet) for the townies).
773	Leisure centre - pool.
774	More village gatherings. Markets in summer etc. Crazy golf.
775	Pavilion brought back into use (refreshments in summer). Climbing wall, and basketball court again. Holiday scheme for children and young people.
777	More care of the garden areas - flower beds etc. maintain the park buildings and maybe put back into use.
778	Toilet facilities. A café.
779	A dog fouling area. Dog fouling elsewhere to be fined. More seats. A drinking fountain, a coffee bar/café, sheltered seating area.
790	A little café/ice cream pavilion would be nice.
792	Café.
793	Green gym/trim track to encourage all ages to exercise and use the park.
799	Pitch and put. More litter bins. Nature trail. Water feature. Botanic garden. Woodland area. Picnic area. Café. Greater warden visibility. Better lighting at night.
800	Like to see closed building opened up and used as café (opposite bowling green).
801	Less drunken gangs of youths.
803	Proper, controlled use of tennis courts I.e. club.
805	More facilities for the teenagers so they are not kids park swearing.
810	Children's adventure playground similar to St Ives at Harden.
813	An old fashioned warden or better policing: CCTV? Litter is an issue - glass, cans and plastic: they don’t arrive as if by magic and penalties need to be enforced by evidential proof. Awful language is a deterrent but how that can be eradicated without any challenge being greeted by similar is not something I can foresee.
823	Kids play area.
825	Easier access. Sort out the disused building.
826	Swimming pool.
835	A larger imaginative playground for children.
836	More children's facilities I.e. football/basketball court that can be used when the grass is wet or frozen. The one on Elliott Street is too far away from the Waterside area of Silsden.
838	Proper maintenance of bowling green.
839	Organised events/competitions etc.
840	Children's play area should be swept and kept clean. And not allow cans etc. to be left lying around. Before grass is cut litter should be picked up by people who drop it.
841	the original park building brought back into use as a café. Could also hire out bowls and tennis equipment. Replacement of rugby club changing facility.
843	Is there a bowling green there.
845	Outside pool area.
847	Bigger fines for dog fouling, in the park, on the green - everywhere really.
850	Get rid of the dangerous and not fir for purpose skate park and replace with something like the one at Roberts Park Saltire/Shipley. Café. More bins and regularly emptied - make football/rugby teams using park responsible for keeping area tidy.
854	Perhaps a running track around the top pitch.
858	A shop and café area.
860	Some more things for young children.
863	A paved/tarmac path around the whole perimeter of the park would provide an all weather circular walk for pram and wheelchair users.
867	Clean modern toilets.
869	The building in park should be renovated and used by our youngsters giving them the responsibility of helping to decorate and deciding how best to use it for their purpose.
873	Toilets.
879	Public toilets open during daytime only. Especially for the use of mother and babies and young children.
881	Where are the stones from the footpaths, they need resetting, belong to Silsden people, bring them back. The park belongs to Silsden not Bradford. Maybe a cycle track.
885	A trim trail, need more hedging.
896	A leisure centre with pools, gyms etc.
897	Couldn’t we have a paddling pool like Sutton? That’s an excellent part and attracts many visitors in summer so get business for local shops.
900	Renovate the boarded up building on the way into the park. Better places to sit and enjoy communally during the day and possibly a covered area for bad weather/the evening.
901	Adult fitness equipment, exercise equipment i.e. ski, air walkers.
902	Park needs a public toilet.
903	Re-furbish the pavilion, the white building above the bowling green.
905	It would be good if there was a foot path which went right around the park e.g. behind the football pitch then up by Mitchell Lane then up the edge and right up to the rugby pitch. A popper path so you don’t always have to wear willies when walking here.
906	Tea rooms for the OAPs.
911	A good clean up
914	Better changing facilities.
918	Just to make it safer after dark to pass through.
924	Cafe.
926	Cafe in summer months selling ice creams, liquid refreshments etc.
931	Larger play area swings etc. for a large park the play area is very small. Also toilets needs to be reopen through the day in summer.
932	I would like to see an upgrade in changing facilities for the footballers and rugby players who use the park. What they have now is a disgrace and look like it should belong in a 3rd world country.
936	More facilities for children and families.
941	Yes free parking so as not to block people who live nearby.
944	Develop the house within the park into some usable facility.
947	Dog fouling signs.
948	Public lavatories would be useful to discourage young people urinating around the back of the pavilion.
949	Just a general sprucing up and good maintenance.
952	Pitch and Putt.
953	More party in the park. Sunday Market.
974	Small refreshment facility for bowls players, tennis and people just sitting and watching these activities going on.
975	Café.
978	Facilities to use during school holidays. WC, small shop, could the building of the bowling club be sued? Could even be run by parents.
979	More seating and litter bins.
980	Maybe a café or a car boot type sale.
984	Just to have it kept clean. No bottles thrown about, dog dirt or litter.
987	Better maintenance of tennis courts.
988	Catering facility.
993	Netball court.
994	I would like to see the tennis court improved.
998	Safe and clean football areas for boys to reduce kicking balls outside neighbours property. Prevent nuisance incidents and damage to property.
999	Wouldn’t it be great to turn that lovely building into a café with toilets also open Sundays?
1002	Dog waste bins. Redevelop redundant building into a small tourist/community centre.
1004	No.
1011	The old pavilion in park is a good asset wasted, would be good to see it repaired and in use.
1047	Designated area for dog fouling!! Toilets.
1053	Regular cleaning.
1060	Demolish the pavilion and build a community centre.
1062	New changing rooms for local teams.
1064	Public toilets.
1065	Keeping it cleaner from dog fouling would be a huge advantage - as I am told by people who have young children - and grandchildren. (And people who play rugby!)
1071	Warden to protect children.
1076	Toilets reopened.
1079	Boats/paddling lake. More seats, more bins. Pathways across the park which floods and inaccessible. More flowers.
1080	Someone to monitor the language of the football players when they are playing so close to the children's playground. Public loos.
1081	No.
1082	Better parking facilities for bowling green/tennis/football users - shouldn't have to park outside residents homes - causes aggro and ill feeling - most bowlers are retired, cannot walk far, carrying heavy bowls and bad weather clothes - there is room opposite the houses - make it into parking area for park users, even residents visitors - have spoken to some residents and having cross words (as a bowler) they are agreeable to this.
1088	More community events.
1091	Pavilion/changing rooms for rugby.
1092	Picnic areas. Toilet facilities. Fitness course/area.
1093	Dog park - quite American/Canadian idea though seriously helps to keep dogs away from sports grounds/children's playing fields.
1096	Park facilities much improved.
1101	Tea rooms.
