In the 20th century various ponds in the park were filled in so that none remain today, and an area in the south-east of the park laid out for golf.[1] Bowling greens, tennis courts and a second promenade were added in the 1920s.[1] LandmarksThe main carriage entrance is in the north-east on Bowling Hall Road at Lister Avenue. There is a second similar entrance in the north-west on Bowling Park Drive—both entrances having two-storey lodges.[1] In the west, there is another entrance from West Bowling with a tree-lined embankment approach. Running through the park is a serpentine carriageway within which are a series of interlinked curving paths that together with shrubs and trees enclose a series of irregularly shaped zones.[1] The site slopes down to the north west making it suitable for tobogganing in winter.[2] There is a fenced off children's play area,[2] a youth cafe,[5] a multiactivities area,[6] crown green bowling greens operated by the bowling club,[7]and a pitch and putt course created in 1924.[5][8] Elsewhere in the park are the base and roots of a fossilised tree.[9] Friends Of Bowling Park is a voluntary organization who organize community fundays in the summer, and help keep the park free of litter, and along with Bradford Bees YMCA have helped establish Bowling Park Community Orchard. AccessEntry is free and the park is open at all times.[5] In the event of bad weather visitors have the option of going to Bolling Hall and Museum to the northeast on the other side of Bowling Hall Road. First Bradford 634 from Bradford Interchange every half-hour, 620 also half-hourly in the evenings.
