Land for the purpose of providing a public park was purchased by Bradford Council in 1873. Horton Park was opened on 25 May 1878 by the Mayor, Briggs Priestly, MP. Areas for specific sporting activities including bowling greens, tennis courts, a putting green, together with a children’s play area, were added during the first half of the C21 (OS 1921, 1932). Horton Park remains in use as a public park in the ownership of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council.
There is a small lake in the park which feeds an ornamental stream and waterfall. This bridge crosses the stream near to the waterfall and carries a footpath across it.
