Lovely park to visit for a few hours. Free parking and easy to get to. The paddling pool is fantastic and such a great free facility for the public to enjoy. Be prepared though as there is zero shade - we usually bring a parasol to combat this. Bring some toys along and it's an easy way to spend a few hours. The little kiosk opens on weekends and sells lots of cold treats! The actual play park is good as well and is spaced out well, so you're not on top everyone. There are toilets across the park, but they are a bit worse for wear. Still, they do a job!

Another big park, it’s a beautiful and nice park, just walking around. Dog friendly. There is a small trail in the other side

A really nice family park. My children really enjoyed this park. The weather was just perfect for the pool we had a splash and the open field allowed my little family to have a race. We walked around and the shaded areas and we all said we would deffo come back to this park.

Beautiful park. Very big , lots of open spaces. Football ground children's play area children's paddling pool, children swings and slides. Large picnic area toilets very beautiful park. Great place to take the key date for the day. Easy to find. Just off the A14 at worsted

Bourne Park is a very extensive grassy space with many mature deciduous trees, growing throughout. It's suited to dog walkers, joggers, nature lovers, & those who wish to enjoy a breathtaking, panoramic view of the Orwell Estuary from its highest point. This is probably the best spot to be sited on the outskirts of Ipswich, if you want to witness the daily sunrise over the Orwell Bridge. A large children's only play area is fenced off from the main path at the eastern corner of the flat field section, keeping the new facility dog free. The older play area is still accessible, on the other side of the hill, closeby Bourne Park Car Park. Also nearby the car parking space is the Public Footpath access into Bourne Park Reedbeds. For such a big park it's quite pathetic that the local authority has closed the on-site public toilet block as part of its cost cutting policy. Bourne Park has several different narrow access spots for walkers, but none of them are obvious as such from outside. So unless you know it's there, it's a beautiful facility quite easily bypassed without even knowing about Bourne Park's existence. Another easily missed feature here is the memorial to local industrialist, philanthropist, Quaker & Labour MP, Sir Richard Rapier. The stone monolith bearing the brass plaque in his honour, is located near the main gate aside the Wherstead Road entrance. (It was formerly sited at the main works of the Ransomes & Rapier foundry, but was relocated when the dockside factory closed).
