Scenic park, extremely clean and lots of areas to explore. A walk along the water upto The white swan pub as well! Free car park is a big plus. The only thing it lacks are public toilets!

The park is situated along the river and also has green space for people to play and relax or have picnics. It's close to a nice little social club and Bitterne. The park it's self needs some tlc. It's not bad but it's not amazing either. My kids enjoyed it and the scenery around it is not bad especially with nice weather.

Nice place to get relaxed and for riding bikes with friends and family. There is also a practice area for bikes. Good view to talk a look at the birds swimming on the river side and many kayaking race between many people happens. Such a wonderful spot to see different kind of boats floating on the mirror like calm and silent river which directly shows the reflection of the beautiful blue sky with cotton candy like white and rainbow colored clouds at various intervals of the day from morning to evening. Must be an amazing spot to walk around with your loved ones and have a blissful chat in the midst of the river and green lawns surroundings with dedicated walking tracks and bike tracks. Many wooden benches are available every 10 meters to talk some good rest facing the river and beautiful sky. There is also a practice area for bikes.
