This park is amazing so much there for the kids Todo and it's all spaced out and plenty of room. There is also a little cafe/ hut there selling drinks and ice creams and the toilets were very clean. Very nice park will visit again

Lovely park in Shepton Mallet. I was here volunteering for the Junior parkrun and walked around after. Great play area for children. Nice walks around the park with small lake and stream. Very clean park and I didn't see any dogs mess. Everyone I met in the park were friendly. A lovely morning and nice atmosphere.

I haven't been for years and forgot how nice this place really is I visited after being somewhere else in the area and wanted to have a look around and see the pond. There is a nice playpark for the kids with toilets and cafe next to the play park. Whilst walking around i seen the bandstand wich was nice to see things like that still remaining. I Also had a look around the pond and followed the streem down through the park. It was perfect timed as there was lots of colourful flowers about and pink trees. There is so much space here you could spend so much time here. This park is great for taking some really nice pictures. It's well worth a visit.

A great local park tucked away behind the High street. It has a well maintained play area with swings and roundabouts and a slide for younger children. The huge grass area is ideal for older children to let off steam or dog walking a favourite pooch. Unfortunately the band stand is under used. As for the ducks on the boating pond, they must be the best fed in Somerset.
