Standard country park with a couple of walks of varying length through woodland and along the river Ouse. Notice boards and maps available at the entrances but it would be useful to know which trail you are following, maybe a coloured disc or similar along the trail?. Good for dog walking and getting little people out for some exercise. Free parking either roadside or at Fisherman's car park.

Check out the bushes laden with Sloe Berries in Summer. Very quiet in the week now that the kids are back in school but lovely pleasing area to walk with your dog or friends. Nice picnic areas at the park with seating available and under cover.

This park is accessed from a small carpark near the river or you can park in Sainsbury's for 3 hours. The park is wheelchair friendly with its smooth footpaths. There is slides , swings, a zip line ,trampoline and a pirate ship to climb on to name a few of the items for the kids to play on. There is also seating situated around the park and 2 chemical toilets with disabled access. The park also offers two marked walks that takes you past the river and around the Roswell pits.

Had a lovely time this morning at the park, my parents and I took my son out, he's two and a half, so some of it wasn't appropriate but the parts that he could use were amazing, it's well kept open area, disabled and changing facilities are nearby as well. Perfect for a family day or just a few hours of fun!

This is a beautiful place to visit! There is designated parking but it is easier to park at Sainsbury’s and walk over to the many entrances. This is typical for visitors of the park and you will see many people doing it during peak times. The play area is big with a ship being added to the selection recently. There’s long circular walks, trees and nice views over lakes. It’s a good place to host party’s. Especially as you can get food from Sainsbury’s
