A lovely park with a really good playground (although vapes are sometimes left in the equipment so be vigilant) & beautiful planting. It would be even better if there were toilets or a café, as that would make it easier to spend longer there. As it is, it's a great place for a quick morning stroll or a visit with the children.

Park overall has improved significantly, They added a Calisthenics area, and Elliptical, Bike and a Chest Press. Builded a new Playground. Added a bond. They did this because of Flood Management. Only thing to improve is the Court for Football and Basketball, improve the Goals and improve Rims.

Our park is beautiful. I think should have feeding station for the birds, bath pool. There are small public spaces everywhere.. We should invite the wildlife. Like areas with hedges, vegetation for hedgehogs. There is the the Burnt Oak Brook, I heard frogs and amphibians are disappearing faster. There are places to make ponds to invite them to share our area. There are connections park to park. Invite ducks like in Regents Park. Will bring value to our homes. Brexit trashed the value of our homes. Here is a quiet, lots of green areas and it's safe

It’s a lovely park but much can be done to improve safety and antisocial behaviour, like more lights, more cameras etc. Wouldn’t walk through park at night.

Litter-strewn with the Silk Stream choking on discarded detritus strewn by dimwits. A pleasant playground and courts, spaced trees and mown lawns undermined by a fractious undertone emboldened by apparent indifferent stewardship, lacklustre supervision and cursory maintenance. The local community deserves better. Even on Google maps not shown in the customary green, denoting Park but as an undefined grey “blob.” Dissipated, dilapidated, dreary and disappointing here 2 years later - much improved, especially beside the stream banks but still enervated and a poor relation compared to the nearby resuscitated Silkstream and Montrose Parks. 😞 😞 ☹️
