If you want a nice pleasant walk then this park hits the spot. The park is pleasant and has a little lake. Its a nice way to relax a d excercise. Please take your own drink and food and treat the park with respect. W.c facilities are on site but limited. Enjoy.

Lovely park to visit. Plenty of open spaces to sit down, chill and relax. A small pond with ducks for fishing lovers. Great place for a walk as there’s a couple of farm fields that you can walk through too.

The best place we love coming here. Great for dog walking and exploring the outdoors. Parking is cheap and we love catching the ice cream van on a sunny visit. My little one loves feeding the ducks and playing in the park.

Visited here for the Saturday morning Parkrun. Paid parking right next to the start is available, may have a queue a little to pay at the machine on exit. It's a little expensive if between 1-2 hours at £3.50, but all revenue goes to the parks upkeep, so fair enough.  There are also toilets on site and a dog wash!. The 2 lap course is well marshalled and organised, it was very damp when we arrived, so the short grass sections were very slippy, the rest is solid gravel with just puddles to dodge. Some really nice sections with good views of the ponds, a short hilly section, but equally a downhill section also. When wet I'd advise trail shoes are best. Doesn't seem like a fast course, and also not massively attended which gives it a more relaxed pace. Will return in the summer.

Nice park with plenty of open spaces. A small kids park and a big lake with carp, which is ideal for fishing. They have toilets. However, they were closed on the day that I visited. Which was strange as the park was really busy. They could also do with a cafe of some kind because there's nothing in the local vicinity, apart from the ice cream van.
