First time we went and I already regretted not going sooner with our 4year old. You can get duck feed from the little shop to feed the ducks by the pond. The slash pool is lovely (although not too much space seating wise) it's a great hit for the kids. Even the playground is really lovely. There's miniature golf and a miniature train. Just double check as the train only goes on certain dates and usually starts at 13h00. There are toilets and a little shop for food, drinks and ice cream. If you want a lovely little day out to have a bit of a stroll, enjoy nature and let those little feet burn off some energy, it's definitely the place to be the 🙂

Gorgeous park with everything you might want. There are two playgrounds, a duck pond, minigolf, a café, a beach volleyball pitch, an affordable mini train to ride, a little water adventure place for summer... But also a more wooded area where especially kids can get a sense of adventure, jumping over streams and staying still enough for the rabbits to dare come out of their hiding places. In short: Whatever you might be looking for in a park: Cutteslowe has it. And the best thing: Only locals know about it. So it will be full on summer weekends, but most of the time, it's just nice.

A large and comfortable park to relax in. We walked to the Cutteslowe Park Pond, where we saw ducks, gooses and other birds. There are plenty of chairs, sitting on them is relaxing to the soul and mind. The atmosphere is very beautiful and the birds come to you to take the birds’ food you throw to them. Relaxing, bird watching and a beautiful atmosphere, what more do we need?

This park is awesome for a day out with kids! It really has everything: a sandbox, a pond with ducks, swans and other birds, a kids’ play area, and big grassy spaces where you can have a picnic. There are also ice creams and burgers on sale, but I’d recommend bringing your own picnic and just grabbing an ice cream there. Lots of sunny and shady spots to choose from. If you go without kids, you can play tennis on the courts or even enjoy the two beach volleyball courts. There are two main entrances. The only things that could be improved are the public toilets and the drinking fountain tap, which doesn’t work very well. Super recommended for sunny spring and summer days!
