Cute park, great for the views of the city and people watching. We made our way up there early evening, and were glad that we made the trek. It’s an uphill walk, but well worth it. Plenty of families, picnickers, and dogs.

Nice park to come and chill. We took the stairs...which was a mistake but it was an amazing experience. We only realised you can come here by car after reaching the top. Toilets are available but you have to pay 20p to use. Please put your rubbish in the bin when done.

Lovely park with fantastic views over the city and surrounding areas. We walked up and it is quite a climb but definitely worth it. The views as you climb up over the city are spectacular. It was a crisp January lunchtime, so we were pleased to see a catering trailer when we got to the park at the top. There are some interesting information signs on the way up. The park is well maintained. Was not very busy but it was a cold January day. Definitely worth the walk up for the views.

After visiting the important historical places in Bath, we went up the Alexendra Park, atop a hillock overlooking the city of Bath. It offered stunningly beautiful views of the city, with identifiable landmarks. Spending some time in this lovely park with plenty of green space, was really relaxing. One can either take cab, or, if you have time and energy, one can walk up and down from the city.
