Acomb Green has been a focal point for the local community for generations. Once the centre of the historic village of Acomb, it remains an important meeting place and a valued green space within this busy residential area of York.

Families can enjoy the children's play area while older children have plenty of space to run around on the surrounding grass. Benches positioned around the green make it easy to sit and watch the world go by, and its location beside Front Street means refreshments and shops are never far away.

Although compact compared with some of York's larger parks, Acomb Green's community atmosphere and central location make it a favourite destination for local families looking for a quick outdoor escape.

Good to Know

• The green sits alongside Front Street, where you'll find a range of cafés, takeaways and independent shops.
• There are no public toilets within the park itself.
• Frequent bus services connect Acomb Green with York city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
• Limited on-street parking is available nearby.
