Aireville Park

Comprising of 20 acres of parkland, a swimming pool, a Multi Use Games Area, wheelpark and a pitch and putt course.

Aireville Park dates back to the 1830's when it was part of the Aireville Estate owned by the Dewhurst family. The estate passed into the hands of Skipton Council in 1945 and it was at this time that some sporting facilities were included.
