Lovely place for a peaceful walk, regardless of the time of year. Nice cafe and play area for the kids. Historical,too..plenty of " boards" detailing the life and work of J S Stamford, a Victorian benefactor and champion of the working class
Nice walk for a local. Some areas are well maintained
Wonderful little park. I visit regularly, always with monkey nuts in my pockets because the squirrels are incredibly friendly and will actually come up and take nuts from your hand. The cafe is nice, the toilets are accessible and the playground is always fun for kids. The flower beds are always kept beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere here is just lovely. There's a reason I visit so often!
A beautiful park to visit for a walk or a picnic with family, it's a shame the tropical conservatory is no longer here, it has some beautiful exotic plants in it. The bird sanctuary is lovely, birds of all kinds are well looked after. There is a nice little train ride that you can take a ride in around the park which is great for kids. The cafe is good, simple but friendly staff and clean. The food is nice and the toilets are clean. The park has a Victorian walk that you can do with little waterfalls and bridges, it's off the main paths so can be a bit muddy in parts. Also I'd like to mention the Adorable Squirrel friends of the park that love to come and see what food you have for them, they are not shy to get up close and will take nuts out of your hands if your calm and gentle. I definitely would recommend a visit it's a great place to go for a Sunday walk and a summers day.
A lovely traditional park with lots to see and do. The park has good play areas for the little ones which includes a water fountain play area in the summer months. A lovely coffee shop in the centre of the park with an ice cream van present near the play areas for most of the warmer months. There are also bowling greens, a duck pond and aviary with various types of birds to look at. Worth a visit if you're in the area and an excellent way to kill a few hours for free.
It is great place for walking, with kids, alone or friends. There is plenty of birds, squirrels and even rabbits. In the centre is small pond with ducks. You can take kids to playground area that is well equipped. There is waterfall and aviary with small birds.
Lovely walk with heir and spare and our Oakley. Didn't plan on getting soaked but thems are the best days:)
Beautiful park full of wonderful flower displays, play equipment for all ages, sand and water fountains to run through in summer. A cafe with toilets and even a choo choo for the little ones at just £1.50pp for a ride around the park. Parking isn't the best especially on hot days. So its best to set off early as you may need to find a street away.
Really nice park, done a lot of work on it since I last visited. Small and large play areas. Water fountains to play in. Nice walks around through the woods and small animals and birds to see.
