Traveler reviews
Karen Dyson
โ โ โ โ โ 5 years agoI love this park. Half of it is playing fields, and there is also a children's play area and a more formal garden area. The other half is more natural with grassy slopes in the middle and lovely woodland walks around the outsides. There is a boardwalk along a stream. Lots of birds, and there is a dipping pond. The Friends group runs events in non-covid times, including nature walks and a family day in August. There are good paths, definitely pushchair accessible and some parts would be wheelchair accessible although there are slopes. Free on street parking. Don't think there are any public toilets.

โ โ โ โ โ Edited 4 years agoJust love this place. Everyone is passionate about the club and the facilities. The shop is usually well stocked with a large variety of items and not unreasonably priced. Staff are on hand to answer questions and even give a guided tour. The upstairs bar is the place to hang out and even caters to club and private functions. On match days there are fast food counters and bars dotted around inside the ground, and also under the stands. Plenty of disabled parking in the grounds.
