Jacob Smith Park

Jacob Smith Park is a public park managed by Harrogate Borough Council. It covers over 12 acres in the village of Scriven (now part of the town of Knaresborough). It was donated by Winifred Jacob Smith to the people of Knaresborough on her death in 2003. She had previously raised pedigree Ayrshire cattle on the site.
The park is partly enclosed by a wall built by the Slingsby family to enclose their newly landscaped parkland in the eighteenth century. (Low Wood at one end of the park was part of this landscaping project.) Some of the trees in the park are believed to be 500-800 years old. The Slingsbys sold off the estate in the late 1950s and the parkland was bought by the sisters Winifred and Dorothy Jacob Smith.
