What a little gem! Now back under council ownership, this park is returning to the beauty it once was. The grounds workers have made a huge positive impact, and its looking magnificent. From the variety of trees, the children's parks and the general feeling of the park its truly starting to blossom again! Cafes are quite dear, so theres always morrisons across the road for a meal deal if on a tight budget. Great for dog walking, bird spotting, evening stroll or shady picnic!

Well maintained and an excellent place to take a walk to experience ponds, flowerbeds, wooded areas and open green areas. Cafes and toilets on site. A mini train ride and very small crazy golf. There are also bookable tennis courts and a free table tennis table.

Alexandra Park in Hastings is a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The park is well maintained and offers a nice escape from the busy town. It is a great spot for walking, jogging, or simply sitting and enjoying the surroundings. One of the best things about Alexandra Park is its open green spaces, lovely gardens, and small lakes. The park feels fresh and calm, especially during spring and summer when the flowers are in full bloom. There are plenty of benches, making it easy to stop, rest, and take in the view. It is also very family-friendly, with playground areas where children can play safely. The park has good walking paths that are suitable for all ages. You will often see people walking their dogs, having picnics, or taking photos. The wildlife, including ducks and birds around the ponds, adds to the charm of the place. Overall, Alexandra Park is a lovely part of Hastings and a great place to spend a few quiet hours. Whether you want a short walk, some fresh air, or a calm break, this park is definitely worth visiting. 🌳

"Alexandra Park is a lovely, well-maintained green space perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The pathways are great for a morning run or a leisurely stroll, and the views from the top are beautiful. The playground area is fantastic for children, offering a good variety of equipment. It can get a bit busy on sunny weekends, but overall, it's a valuable community asset. Highly recommend for families and dog walkers!"
