Had a great day walking around Elthorne park. Really well kept and beautifully presented with lovely tree lined paths and flower beds. Perfect for picnics and dog walks. Lots of amenities including a bandstand and tennis courts and there is a fantastic woodland to explore. Nice central location makes it easy to access. Parking on side roads around the area.

Great park and a huge waterside. It is a perfect place to spend time with children and family. The waterside has a huge walking trail. It is very peaceful and a great place to walk. Surrounded with local neighbourhood. The canal has a lot of water boats. Very nice place and is easily approachable by your own vehicle as well as public transport.
