Hyde Park

“Hyde park is within a short walking distance from the bus station and accessed by foot bridges across the adjacent motorway. There is a play area for children, a wooded area for dog walkers and when you have worked up an appetite the Java station cafe is available for food and hot drinks. There is an active crown green bowling club with several greens and tennis courts. It is also a pleasure to simply walk through the gardens and orchards that produce fruit in the appropriate season.”

“Nice little park, a few areas for exploring. Great for dog walks but bear in mind a lot pay no attention to the dogs must be on a lead signs. Theres a coffee shop in there also. There's a park in there for kids, they also have an inclusive disability swing (apologies if this is not the correct term for it)a small orchard, crown green bowls, a tennis and football court and I think basketball nets too.”

“This is a lovely park, well laid out and well kept. There’s a bandstand and large viewing area, and lots of interesting features. The range of tree species is impressive. The park takes in a woodland area running both sides of a nearby stream. This can be muddy in wet weather, but is a lovely addition to the park. There’s a nice little cafe - Java - in the park too, with a good range of food and drink at really reasonable prices. Hyde Park hosts a parkrun every Saturday morning starting at 9.00am.”
