Love the secure toddler play park. Also great for the older child...such an excellent idea to have toddle park open into the other park..specially if you have a runner toddler. Well kept park with a bin that is emptied regularly and also Mannie coffee shop just outside park. What more do you need

I attended the annual Alton Bus rally. There are many preserved buses which visit the park 3rd Sunday of July. As well as buses & coaches there are vintage cars, commercial & military vehicles & motor bikes. There are plenty of toilets & food/drink stalls for visitors on this special event day.
