   Great park at the end of a walk along the river. Fantastic children's park with soft underfoot, plenty of things to keep the kids entertained, best part it has a special needs play area catering for everybody. Nice little cafe/kiosk with food and srunks readily available at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit if you have an hour or two to pass the kids will love it.

   Lovely little setting, kids really enjoyed the park and walk over the bridges, would recommend highly on a sunny day. Suitable for all ages and great for a cheap family trip.

   Lovely park and play area. Great space for the kite and motoring festival this weekend. More bins needed for the likes of this festival, especially away from the food areas.

   This is the local park (along with Priory Country Park) for anyone living in east Bedford. I've included pictures of the Embankment, the Boating Lake and the river as they are so close but Russell Park itself is already full to the brim with lovely walks, an extensive playground (with an accessible section), The Kiosk that serves wonderful smoothies and has public toilets, and a mini golf. A lot of events are held here (Bedford Running Festival, main act at the River Festival, amusements, etc.) and it's the perfect spot for a summer picnic, an autumn leaf-focused romp, a winter stroll or a spring wildlife watching exercise.

   The Embankment is extremely beautiful. It is great for walks or photography. I enjoyed looking at the swans, ducks and gulls. You can sit and read or watch teams practice their rowing. It is very near to hotels and restaurants in Bedford. Personally, I think the best time to visit is on a Saturday when there is market. There is a homeliness with the market, the coffee vendors, you can get fresh bread, have a seat and enjoy the morning. This can be completed with a visit to the city center and it's shops.

   Free parking for up to 2 hours which was plenty of time needed for us to have a lovely stroll along the river in the shade of the trees. Lots of wild birds especially swans, geese and ducks.

   Fabulous find in the heart of Bedford. Stopped off for a quick bite to eat and made an evening out if it with a walk along the river. Very clean and well kept, lots of wildlife.
