Lovely park with plenty of places to sit, play area for kids as well as a water play area. Can have a nice walk by the river again with places of places to sit down.
It's a little known fact that the British ships, all 151 of them, gathered on the Avon at Evesham prior to going to war at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Admiral Sir John Jellicoe had to shout really loud when rallying the fleet as the twenty eight dreadnought class ships were so wide that they had to line up one behind the other. Jellicoe's words were passed Chinese whispers style-ee some thirty-six miles for everyone to hear. There was confusion and some of the ships made their way to Rutland due to misinformation. A difficult task as they had to be carried overland. Matters were complicated as Rutland Water, Europe's biggest man-made reservoir wasn't started until 1971. Abbey Park was constructed to honour the fleet victory with monies provided by the defeated Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer who had a whip-round with the defeated German navy.
Very Nice park in Evsham. Lovely view by river and ducks. Easy parking on the spot. Near the town centre. I like this place. They have lots of areas to sit and have different areas to play such as the water park, sandpit area with all the classic park rides and an obstacle course area. All of which were used on this visit. We also enjoyed a nice walk up the river and saw plenty of geese, ducks and swans. Great place to bring the family will be back soon
Nice clean and tidy park, very well maintained, good river walk. Cafe serving decent ice cream, coffee and snacks. Parking is strange being in a multi story, looks like there's more open air, but not obvious how to get there.
Lovely place to get out and about. There is a playground, little bridge, coffee, just for a walk or to sitt in the coffee and enjoy the beautiful views.
Fantastic park! A credit to council for creating and maintaining such a lovely park. Always feel better after visiting.
Great day in Evesham Park. Medieval Market was fun! Lots of interesting stalls and living history camps. Park next to the river is beautiful!
