Tea room offering refreshments located at the Pitch and Putt Golf facility in Monkton Park
I've enjoyed many happy times in Monkton Park in all seasons. Fond memories with a sled in the snow, playing golf on the pitch and putt, collecting conkers or reading my book with St. Andrews Church in the background. Situated close to the town centre, a good sized park with something for everyone. I'll keep coming back!
Very large grassed area next to the river which we used for camping during Chippenham folk festival. Mostly level, tap water and septic waste points provided during festival week. Grey water disposal for campers/motor homes more difficult, no drive over drain. Toilets at Olympiad sports centre or behind cafe at Monkton Park end. Children playground. Walks along the river to the town
Nice open space beside the river with a playpark. A enjoyable place to walk through or stop for a rest. Great for taking kids for picnic and to feed the ducks from the feeding area just across the park to the main Street on the bridge there is a designated feeding the. The area seemed well looked after and kepd tidy it's worth a visit as it leads across a bridge to another park to make your walk longer if you wanted to or if one park is to buisy you can cross over to the other.
Went to the civil war reenactment today which was a fun day out with cannons and musket firing and a nice encampment with tents featuring different parts of life in the 17th century. Being right next to the town centre it was easy to nip for a coffee and a bite to eat, in fact as we were sat in the cafe they marched up the street to the beat of the drum! Wonderful event well worth the trip.
Went for a stroll around this park on Sunday 28th of April 2019 to walk off our Sunday roast.we parked in the Olympiad leisure car park which was free on this day,then it is just a short walk either down the steps or along the road that leads into the park.Its quite a nice walk along the pathway which follows the River Avon as it winds it’s way out of the Chippenham Town Centre,there is plenty of wildlife to be seen on and around the river banks.The walk takes you around the pitch and put 9 hole golf course with crazy golf and cafe.If you want you can walk or cycle for miles as the pathway carries on to The town of Calne,the route we took was along the river then in a circle back to where the entrance to the cafe and golf course is.It was a very nice walk and suitable for everyone as the pathways are level and easy going. This place is well worth a visit.
