Abbey Park is a big city park in Leicester. Facilities are good and convenient to people. I like to spend my leisure time there.
What an interesting place Leicester is to visit. I started my visit by parking near to the gates of Abbey Park which is free parking and unlimited. Then a walk through the park of around 20 minutes to the City centre. You can view the remaifoundotions of the Abbey and walk around them. Leicester is a very interested multi cultural city. With a vibrant market and a pleasant shopping centre it's well worth a visit.
Lovely park always clean and litter free , Beautiful flower gardens, great play area for kids of all ages , nice little pets corner , can always find something to do to keep kids busy, after years of going to this park I only just discovered the apple orchard recently and it's great.
Probably the best park in Leicester as its relatively close to the city centre making it easily accessible from the bus and train stations. There is parking but not too many spaces making if difficult to find a space during busy times. The park is set in lovely surroundings and has parts of the old Abbey there for people interested in history. Has tennis courts, well manicured flowers section, a Chinese themed garden area, a river running through with wildlife. Also has plenty of green space, miniature railway, children's playground, outdoor gym equipment, cafe and close to a artificial football pitches for hire centre. The animal corner with variety of animals is a favorite for children along with the ice cream vans dotted around the park.
Attended the Billy Bates Fun fair on Abbey Park (12th July - 25th Auguy) and for only £1 had a few hours of great fun. No kids, just me and my better half (kids trapped in adult bodies). The rides were reasonably priced and the most expensive was £4 per adult and half that for kids. There was plenty of unhealthy snacks and food and plenty for the kids to do. Parking was a nightmare and we had to park on Belgrave Road and walk, but it only took 5 mins, so no real problem. I highly recommend the fun fair for adults AND families!
Big park close to to the town center a lot of trees flowers birds and fresh air. Perfect for jogging in the morning or walk out your dog. Also nice just to have a stroll. There is a pets corner with different animal as well. The is also a river crossing the park and a late in the park itself. Beautiful landscapes and views
Great park not too far from the main centre of Leicester. We headed straight to the Pets Corner (yes us two adults) and could have stayed there for hours! Such a lovely place to walk, enjoy the quiet and look at the ruins.
A Very large and well-maintained park, can easily take a full day's time spent. The large play area and swans will keep the kids entertained. There is a small lavender field to add to your entertainment if you visit during the seasons.
Absolutely stunning. Such a lovely park to walk around, so much to see. From a sensory garden, a pets corner, mini railway and a boating lake. Not to mention a beautiful oriental garden. One of the best places to visit, for all ages. Great access too, with a cheap car park. Would absolutely visit again
