We've visited This pleasant, small park with the children several times. There are many friendly dogs, but unfortunately, some people don’t pick up their dog’s mess, and we usually only notice a bit scattered around. We’ve seen numerous older children enjoying themselves and playing responsibly in the football area each time we've visited. A nice, flat concrete path surrounds the grassy field and makes for a nice little walk, with some gym equipment scattered around. Unfortunately, we’ve noticed quite a lot of litter lying around each time we visit; our first visit was about a month ago. They also have a nice playground, tennis courts, and a bowling area, which seems popular with older folks. They also have a nice but small water play feature for the children. It’s cobbled around it, so very young children would need help accessing it. It has mini damns that you can open and close, which can increase the depth of water in the centre, making it into a big puddle to splash in. It's a lovely park, but it could do with more bins and a cleanup. We tend to find parking readily on a culdesac adjacent to the park. Edited on 9th June 2025: This park is getting cleaner, and it’s great to see more people picking up their dog’s mess. The crazy golf area has a re-paint and looks much better. On our most recent visit, a lovely man, accompanied by his children, tested out his small drone in a more secluded area of the park. He kindly allowed my son to have a go at flying it with his help. I’ve added the video and updated this review to show how kind everyone we come across has been at this park. It has a friendly atmosphere, especially if you are a dog owner. My child is passionate about dogs and seeks them out on our almost weekly visits, and all the owners have been very kind and patient with him, allowing him to fuss with their dogs if friendly and answering his many questions! I hope somebody will improve the water area next. It needs a clean and a top-up of water. It's a fun area of the park for children, but it could use some TLC.

Amazing place,e for walking, running, exercising. 1 km loop, with 7 tp 10 exercise machines like bikes, cross trainer, twister, etc. Enjoyable greenery and trees setup

Tribute to the Bevin Boys well worth a look.

On the whole it's maintained to an average standard nothing special. Poor strimming , no edging up with shears of the grass edges. Bed edges have no definition. Lack of weed control in beds. The water course badly needs a clean up. Grassed areas not the best to walk upon as they are not using grass tyred on their tractor causing deep marks in turf Park not helped by litter strewn everywhere...time to dish out some littering fines. One dead tree near brook needs to be felled and replaced.

Possibly the best park in Swadlincote Town, located very close to the high Street. The top of the park offers scenic beauty from herbaceous flower beds, mature trees, rose arch and running water from landscaped features. Large sports fields are well maintained.
