Lovely park — could do with some post-Covid investment. The sensory garden is looking a bit sad, but the lake looks stunning this year.

This is a great park that is nice for a stoll or a dog walk. There are plenty of areas for dogs to rummage around. Not massive but it's enough for a nice walk around. There's a play area for children with a crazy golf section which I assume is open at the weekends in the summer months. Plenty of off path areas to explore as well as a formal garden. A good sized pond in the middle of the park with ducks and geese to feed if you choose. It does have a shop to purchase food and snacks which again I would assume is open in the summer months.

A really nice park and walk around. Good play area for children and the park also has open grass areas. Park benches clean and maintained. On street free parking. Not parkrun use this park in a Sunday morning.

This park is absolutely fantastic, beautiful sights, amazing scenery, really good for dogs (unfortunately have to be on a lead). I live nearby and visit here often, even more so now that I have a dog. The cafe sells tea, coffee, ice pops, ice cream and some children's toys

Beautiful park, even after lockdown. Great park for all ages. Volunteers out trimming overgrown brushes and tidying bedding plants. The Rose Garden is not in bloom yet and we can't wait until they do. The rhododendron are absolutely beautiful with the huge magnolia. The green house was closed to the public while it was getting painted. The children's play area was open but not sure about the mini golf. The pond has two lovely working fountains with loads of wild fowl, ducks and some swans.
