Best for families who want green space to spread out and a picnic, set around a restored Grade II house with the formal Shakespeare Gardens to wander.
π Funzaroo Verdict
This suits families who want space to roam, with a playground to keep little ones busy and a skate park alongside, plus a house serving food and drink for a longer visit. Those driving should plan around the small car park, though nearby streets offer close alternatives.

βWe had our wedding at Lightwoods and it was absolutely amazing. We couldnβt have asked for a better venue. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful and truly made our day so special. The manager was especially lovely and supportive throughout. At the end of the night, the staff cleaned up all our tables and carefully packed everything away into our boxes, which made collecting everything the next day so easy and stress-free. The whole day was perfect, and the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We couldnβt recommend Lightwoods enough. Skate park was amazing along with the gardens and staff made sure the accessible ramp was fixed before our wedding due to us having guests who required it.β

βLight Wood Park is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature! The park is beautifully maintained, with plenty of open green spaces, walking trails, and trees that provide a peaceful escape from the busy surroundings. Itβs perfect for families, joggers, or anyone who just wants to unwind outdoors. The childrenβs play area is well-equipped and safe, keeping the little ones entertained for hours. Thereβs also plenty of seating scattered around, making it ideal for picnics or simply sitting back and soaking in the scenery. What I really appreciate is how clean and inviting the park feels, with bins conveniently placed to encourage visitors to keep it that way. Itβs clear that a lot of care goes into its upkeep.β

Overview
Nearly 12 hectares of parkland brought back to life by a lottery-funded restoration, with room to kick a ball, spread a picnic blanket or walk the dog between the trees. The Grade II listed house anchors it all, with 1000 Trades serving meals and grab-and-go coffee inside, and the formal Shakespeare Gardens give you a quieter corner to amble through.
