Lovely little setting, kids really enjoyed the park and walk over the bridges, would recommend highly on a sunny day. Suitable for all ages and great for a cheap family trip.

This is the local park (along with Priory Country Park) for anyone living in east Bedford. I've included pictures of the Embankment, the Boating Lake and the river as they are so close but Russell Park itself is already full to the brim with lovely walks, an extensive playground (with an accessible section), The Kiosk that serves wonderful smoothies and has public toilets, and a mini golf. A lot of events are held here (Bedford Running Festival, main act at the River Festival, amusements, etc.) and it's the perfect spot for a summer picnic, an autumn leaf-focused romp, a winter stroll or a spring wildlife watching exercise.

Lovely Park! and looks great after the recent refurb. I've been coming here since I was little and always loved it. There's a park which has been sectioned got older children and infants. There is also an sensory garden nearby and a cafe called the kiosk where you can buy duck food!
