A lovely place to walk around and have squirrels, ducks and geese following you round just incase you have food.
Plenty of different walks and interesting things to see.
Parking is in a PAY & DISPLAY car park opposite the park entrance and the car park has PAY TO USE toilets.
On our weekday visit in October none of the facilities where open (peddle boats, cafe and island walk).

We visited 3 times and not for good reasons. My daughter was desperate to visit the Japanese garden on the island, she’s autistic and loves anything Japanese. The website is very vague. We live two hours away and was in the area on holiday, so I thought it was a perfect time to go and visit. The first time we tried to visit there was an event on and the island was closed. We saw no notices or times of when the island would be closed. The second time we visited it was 5 in the afternoon and the island was closed. We noticed it had opening times are between 10 am and 4 pm the sign saying this was hidden behind a closed gate. The third time we visited. We were successful and managed to get onto the island. When we reached the top of the hill the garden wasn’t quite what we expected and wasn’t very well maintained even though my daughter absolutely loved it.

A wonderful park based on the willow pattern on plats cups etc. Japanese garden and bridges, with pagodas etc. Very nice cafe with seating inside and outside with friendly staff. Great food and drinks. Boat hire. Rowing and dragon pedlows. They have special boat battles on at different times of the year. Lots of dog walking with plenty of wast bins. Lots of birds to spot plenty of seating around the park. A real must see place.

Love this place. I have such fond childhood memories, and I'm so glad that 30 years later it's still as beautiful, if not more so.

The walk around the park is lovely, with the Japanese inspired decor. I highly recommend visiting the Naval Warfare display, it's absolutely brilliant for the price and so much fun. The pedalos are a brilliant way to explore the park and island too.

Been coming for years, love it. Shame the tree walk isn't open at night anymore and Where's the flea circus? Couldn't stay for the Naval battle this time but it's a big part of the park.
Very peaceful and full of memories.

Old fashioned park with a boating lake, cafe and very friendly staff. We went to see the sea battle re-enactment which was fun however it did rain heavily- but the show continued! Our dog was allowed to attend although there were some pretty large bangs. There is some very nice music from about 2:30pm which kept us entertained until the battle started at 3pm and lasted about 40 minutes. The commentary helped us understand what was going on! Cost £4.50 for an adult ticket.

We were in a bit of a rush. But we entered the park for a quick in and out. It wasn't to be so! This park is simply amazing! We spent sometime boating. We had 30 mins but cos we had a train to catch we finished it in a rapid fast pedal 10 mins ☹️ We had a quick visit to the water falls. The place looked stunning and we so wish we had more time. Definitely coming back again!
