๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families in the Doncaster area wanting a low-key outdoor outing with older children who enjoy walking or tennis. The free tennis courts are a genuine draw and the parkland scale allows for a relaxed pace. Some areas show flood damage - stick to the main paths and flower sections for the best experience.

โ€œLived in doncaster for over 30 years and didn't know about this park. A great place to go for walks or just a relaxing day. Park for the kids, and tennis courts wich are free. Check it out on Google maps and find out all about it, and its a very large parkland.โ€

โ€œStill good, but not what it was. Lovely setting and the flowers were in bloom whilst we were there. Having seen this over the last few years the floodings have not been kind. Such a nice area.โ€
