Great playground but it’s falling into disrepair. Zip wire has been broken for months and the seesaw thing has no ropes either.
Toilets were locked and with the signs saying cctv monitoring would be nice to have working and functional facilities. Also needs a clean up as lots of glass around and not many bins. Was a nice park with the playground and wildlife.
Lovely place to take kid's, 2 car parks to choice from. Sand pit, large park, mini train, ice cream etc
This is a wonderful park for kids of all ages we arrived just after 11am and left just after 4pm the park area with the swings and slides etc was for all ages all gated and safe seating area inside and lovely grass area shaded by the tree and great picnic area. Sadly there are a lot of geese wandering around the park area they looked people friendly but they poop everywhere and spending time in the splash park around 3 pm there was a lot of poop around this area where an awful lot of children are playing. When asked if we could contact some one I was told the council clean in the morning. I feel in the summer months this needs to be addressed more than early morning. This for me on a very hot day was disappointing and unsafe for little children to play around. Maybe this area should be gated as the park was, to keep this area clean and germ/ dirt free for our children. Toilets were clean and mr whippy was near the entrance. The town (10 min walk ) had lots of cafe eateries. A pleasant day and the kids loved it. Just the splash park area needs to be made safer I feel. A dog friendly park too.
Love the path on the Abingdon side of the circular river walk (the path is artificially spongy and is the only pathway that my elderly dog chooses to walk on - normally she prefers to walk on the grass verge!)
My kids favourite park. I actually enjoy going here as a parent because there's so much for them to do, they don't get bored. Excellent variety, well maintained, and safe. There's also raised beds of artificial grass where you can lie down in the summer, that's what I use them for anyway.
Good park with lots of open space, the river, a playground (when social distancing ends) a swimming pool and splash features (also for post SD). There is parking but not huge amounts. The Meadows has seen a lot of change over the years and is now quite smart... Very different from the overgrown Abbey ruins that I remember running around in. Easy walking distance from the town center and also from the nearby supermarket and leisure centre.
Great play area and gardens. Loads of space for all ages, clean, safe equipment and goslings! Bonus! Obviously if you visit in December don’t expect goslings, but everything else applies.
