I love this park in Bishop’s Stortford. It’s a great space for families, walkers, dog walkers, runners and skate enthusiasts. The skate park is exciting, and there is a good range of playground equipment. While there are some benches, a few more wouldn’t go astray (like the abundance of benches in neighbouring Castle Park). It’s a lovely place to stroll anytime of year.

What a beautiful park. Really well cared for and a lovely place to chill or get some exercise. I just did the park run which was 2 laps of this lovely park. It's very close to town and has easy transport links.

Lovely park in winter and summer . There is a coffee stall at the entrance by the band stand usually from Wednesday onwards . Dog friendly , good play park separate and secure. Summer months has a fab splash park for the little ones but it can become crowded so get there early. Parking on causeway or over the road in Jackson Square. Toilets and ice cream van .
