Lovely peaceful place to walk dog or just chill out. There's always a lot of nature activity around the beautiful lake

I visit often. Convenient place to detour to after using the sports centre or rugby club. Quite pleasant at times. Also occasionally overpopulated and funky-smelling. Rats not unusual. Loud (next to the main road). A very nice community asset but not somewhere you go out of your way to visit.

A great local park, large playground with sandpit and lots of play equipment including a zip line. A large field and some playing courts. The pond is gorgeous with a lovely walk round, always nice to feed the ducks and collect leaves and things for toddler crafts.

This is a regular spot for me to do a walk. It’s good to take a breather and enjoy the atmosphere. You might see families with kids or people with dogs walking there. There is also a spot where you can sit and have your Lunch or a small picnic.

While waiting for my bike to be serviced, I took the opportunity to take a stroll around this lovely lake. The pathway is of tarmac and forms a circuit around the whole lake, so is accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs all year round. There are benches aplenty...with most being made from heavy duty recycled plastic, nice places to sit while watching the many species of waterfowl on the lake. I was amazed while walking, that there was no litter...hard to believe in such a popular place. So, well done Waverley Council and the locals who use it...makes the whole thing much nicer.
