Nice, clean, well maintained open space. Kids area, tennis courts, basketball court, a table tennis table. Parking on nearby roads and within the park. Cafe looked busy.
It’s a great park and has six tennis courts as well. You need to book them in advance. Once booked, they’ll email you a code (valid for one hour) that you enter at the door to access the courts.
This park is very beautiful and well maintained. The park was once the manor of Clay Hall, with its history dating back to the 13th century. It was purchased by the local authority in the mid-1920s and opened as a public park in 1934. It features a formal rose garden with a pagoda, an impressive avenue of mature horse chestnut trees, and a small maze with wheelchair access within the Rose Garden, providing beautiful scenery. The park also includes areas for informal sport, diverse wildlife, and plants, including a landmark nature reserve known as 'Ornamental Waters' with artificial ponds and rough grassland.
I can't believe it took me so long to visit this park. It is totally clean quiet serene well apart from the children who might be there over the summer holidays. There's a full on playground with swings and other facilities for children. There's an outdoor gym with decent enough equipment. There's also a some courts for sports. My favourite was a more quiet area like a walkway with plenty of shade and benches to just sit down and people watch I took a picture of this.
My daughter and her partner went for a walk here and told me it was nice. I have never been here before so I decided to walk here to see for myself. It's lovely here. Although the park is surrounded by roads on all four sides, it is so incredibly peaceful. There is everything you could need here: picnic area, tennis courts, kids playground, café, public toilets. In the middle is a massive playing field and round the edge and through the middle are lovely paths to walk.
