A large open park with many facilities such a football pitch areas, children's play area, cafe, skate board course, historic house and so on. Off street parking is useful but not obvious.

One of my local parts, it's a great park with nice open spaces. Good for taking friends or pets out on walks. And you even get the occasional bit of wildlife to go with! There are better parks than this it must be said, but this one is okay.

I recently visited Charlton House which has a beautiful park filled with vibrant wildflowers. It was such a delightful experience! The park had ample space for kids to run around and play. The wildflowers added such a lovely touch to the park's atmosphere and made it feel like a peaceful oasis.

This park has easy access from the road through both by walk, bus, train and car. The parking is paid. Parking can be free in the adjacent road. From the parking you will find a plain grassy ground. If you walk towards leftside road you will find the cafe. Further down there is a gym and skate park. The environment is very lovely and calm. This park is suitable for all age groups and dogs. There is a house garden and pond garden (Monday to Friday 10 am - pm) with specific opening times. The entire park is having new seasonal flower bloom. There are lots of rubbish bin and pet litter boxes. The cafe had enough comfortable sitting spaces both inside and outside. The decor of the shop made it an interesting place to visit. The stuffs were helpful, kind and welcoming. The toilet is next to café. Enjoy 😊
