Park in Southampton

“Such a fabulous place to take the children. From gentle rides, lovely walks through gardens, to the spash play area & the faster rides. The Lost Kingdom is a brilliant Dinosaur themed area, home of possibly the best ride on site. There are plenty of places to grab a drink, an ice cream or a hot dog & fries. Peppa Pig World is great for small children, with a wonderful selection of rides to make them happy. They'll also be able to meet there favourite characters from the Peppa Pig show. A very good day out for young & old alike.”

“What a place!!! Have used the inflatable park many times, the teenage kids love it, young kids, young adults and even us oldies (brings out some youth in us I guess) I also use the wake park regularly. 5 point cable in a ring so can get 6 people on at any one time. Not always the case and you can ask for gaps if suitable. They also do slow sessions for beginners. But even on a busy session you'll get so much time on the water you'll be wiped out... That is either you'll be knackered or actually have wiped out on one of the many awesome features! Kit hire available. Cafe on site with real nice fresh pizza oven food and a bar up the top for post activity chill out time. Can't comment on camping though as I haven't used that facility. The owners are awesome people who will be there most days. The staff are well trained, friendly and super knowledgeable so if you're needing the next step for boarding, just ask them and they will help. Other activities like kayaking and SUP are also available.”

“It's where I teach my Pilates classes on a Thursday morning at The Lodge Retreat onsite. 9.30am and 10.45am Lovely park with great facilities”

“Slightly biased as have been coming here since the early 80s, and although we miss the old style pub, it could have ended up much worse than it is design wise. Food quality is back on an even keel and is consistently of good quality and presentation this taking away that level of apprehension you feel when you go to so many restaurants these days. Shout out to the young ladies and men of the service team who provide a very professional level of service in a pub / restaurant which I know for a fact can suffer from some challenging customers at times...”

“A nice park and well kept. A good playground for small kids and dog friendly”

“Mayflower Park is a very nice park on the eastern bank of the River Test. It is located between the passenger and cargo terminals of the Port of Southampton, and is near the confluence of the rivers Test and Itchen (which together form Southampton Water, which the drains into the Solent in front of the Isle of Wight, and then into the English Channel). The river bank offers spectacular views of the dawn and dusk skies just as the sun sets over the cargo terminal. From time to time, you may even see huge container ships docking at the terminal, which is a spectacle in itself. Looking far enough towards the south, where Southampton Water drains into the Solent, you can see Fawley Refinery, the biggest oil refinery in the UK (I once caught one of the many chimney towers spewing out flames from various gases, and they looked lovely from the distance). There are even ducks that occasionally swim near the bank. Sometimes there may be events taking place on the Mayflower Park that may cause a little bit of noise. When I’m writing this review, the Continental Circus Berlin had a few shows over the course of about 2 or 3 weeks, and the noise was noticeable even near the river bank (even with the large circus tent positioned a few hundred feet away from the bank). And the actual river bank, complete with benches for you to sit on, is rather annoyingly occupied by a car park (but I think it makes sense, because the site of Mayflower Park used to be occupied by a large warehouse/building for commercial purposes - do let me know if you know additional details). Overall, though, Mayflower Park is a wonderful park with a huge grassy area if you want a nice little picnic, or if you just want to sit by the river and let your mind get carried away by the beautiful scenery or the ships. Happy visiting!”

“Lovely walk along the river on tarmac paths so suitable for disabled or reduced mobility. Excellent for joggers and walkers alike. Lots of open green spaces for children and dogs. Usually an ice cream van or two around as well. Very popular so parking can be an issue at busy times.”

“Lovely area to find in an enclosed and safe environment.”

“Amazing time in this restaurant, friendly atmosphere and staff, great for the money and the choices of meat and sides ( mains and puddings) were delicious!!! Great carpark around the corner... so you can relax and eat as much as you want! For 2 people we spent £71 which is reasonable for drinks and a 3 course meal. You can also go for a nice walk around the marina once you've eaten! Brilliant!!!”

“Nice and clean, next to main road but well protected with fence”

“Ahh what can I say? We had a lovely time here at the children's pleasure park! The two guys were friendly and helpful, great with the kids! £10 for 16 tokens, the slides are 1 token for 4 rides, the kids loved it! Even my 13 year old niece had fun! Yes it's old fashioned but that's the charm! It's a calm, quaint, relaxed children's park! If you're wanting fast paced thrill rides do not come here. I would recommend this place to anyone with a younger family or the oldies that are young at heart!! They sell ice-cream, cold and hot drinks, there is even a ladies talking bench! They're coming up to their 50th year soon, let's keep this place going!”

“Lovely park, I walk the dog here regularly. Can get a bit muddy so best to wear boots”

“Very relaxing place ,watch the world go by in the sunu, with a glass in your hand. There are still 4 swans around. There no entry fee.”

“Been to window to the womb twice now for our gender scan and 4D, the staff are lovely and friendly. Made the experience both occasions really special and on the gender scan allowed us to use props to make the moment more magical for us to share with others. Would highly recommend to anyone else, especially if you have other children/family who you would like to be present at the scan as they are very accommodating! Thank you again ☺️”

“Town Quay Park is a hidden gem in Southampton! I love how this park offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The greenery is well-maintained, and the flowerbeds are a burst of color, especially in the spring and summer. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a book or have a picnic with friends. The park is also very family-friendly with open spaces for kids to run around, and it’s dog-friendly too, which is a big plus. There’s a nice mix of shade and sun, so you can find the perfect spot depending on the weather. The views of the water are calming, and you can even watch the boats go by from some spots. Whether you're looking for a quiet stroll, a place to unwind, or just somewhere to enjoy a bit of nature, Town Quay Park is worth a visit. It’s a small, but charming, green space in the heart of Southampton. Highly recommend!”

“First class service will use again 100%”

“Fantastic experience! The facilities are really good. Claire, the instructor, is so good with our baby girl, and she really loves her time in the water.”

“Always good service here. The wholefoods are decently priced and good quality. Good customer service. Good opening hours. Nice bread. Veg is good. Some of the stuff is expensive but that is to be expected for sustainable vegan produce. A welcome addition to the triangle. Long may it thrive.”

“Loved it! Went just before the summer crowd from London throngs the entire beach. Very nice and clean.”

“Lovely local pub with a great range of real ales that change on a regular basis but there is one that's always on tap! Swordfish! Nice tasty dark(ish) ale”
