The park's boating pond is a historic feature of the Goodrington seafront area.
The park is situated on low-lying land reclaimed near the historic coast of the English Riviera.
The surrounding landscape is part of a designated UNESCO Global Geopark.
The park grounds have been historically used as a transition space between the railway line and the beach.
Young's Park, also known locally as Goodrington Park, is a primary recreational space situated near the South Devon coastline in Paignton. The park features a large ornamental boating pond which serves as the central focal point for visitors. The landscape includes maintained flowerbeds, mature trees, and flat walking paths suitable for accessibility. On-site facilities include a café offering refreshments and overlooking the pond area. The park is positioned directly adjacent to Goodrington Sands beach. It serves as a connector between the promenade and the nearby Quaywest area. The grounds are maintained by the local Torbay Council.
The bridge crossing the boating pond offers the best view of the water with the surrounding greenery and coastal scenery in the background.
Combine your visit with a walk along the adjacent Goodrington Sands beach for a full morning or afternoon.
Check the café opening status in advance if visiting during the off-peak winter season.
The flat paths are ideal for strollers and those with limited mobility.
Do not expect swimming facilities within the park pond; it is strictly for boating or ornamental use.
