“It was the weather that didn't allow me to get to see much, parts of our walk were really good. There was a nice paved walk along PlantsBrook saw a number of herons, rabbits and squirrels mostly. Nice morning my dog loved it.”

“If you are after a simple park, this will be a nice place where you can have a good walk around, jogging, walk with you dogs, cycling around the area, playing tennis and for kids there is a special place where they can play. This park has a special area where you will find a diversity of flowers and it's quite a relaxing place for who's in love of macro photography and just reading on a bench surrounded by nice flowers and their perfumes. You have a small lake where you can enjoy from time to time some ducks and swans 🥹 In summer you got also some some temporary and great funfair play locations for kids and adults.”

“Nice park with good connections, it's easy to park and connects to the canal. Disabled parking is decent and the park is wheelchair accessible with a few different areas (woods, open space, lake etc). Usually clean with not much litter - bins emptied regularly. The lake isn't massively impressive but it's nice to see the swans, geese and ducks. There's a playground for children which is quite popular. The flower garden is also nice.”
