Public parkland with horse riding, cycling paths and a large wooden climbing area, plus a bistro.
Lovely place for a family day out. Cafe could work for longer hours, but overall is good place to visit. Has lake, multiple playgrounds and fields to run around or to have a summer party.
Amazing place, me and 4 kids in my care that day. Ages 1 - 9 and plenty for all of them to do. The activities are spread in a big loop which was fun and we brought a picnic. Big sand pit was great! Plenty of parking which cost PS6.40 for all 5 of us.
Much of the play equipment in need of maintenance / repair, wildlife areas are mainly overgrown not maintained grass, brash and shrub with very little biodiversity evident at time of visit. Little signage and car park charges set too high to make site welcoming.
Great place for a walk or cycle and for the kids to play too (play trail). Parking is now done on the Mi app and is not too expensive. The toilets were clean. No bins. The cafe closes quite early on a Saturday. Check out the 'Flitch way' which starts at the park too.
Large, open country park with plenty of bridal and walking paths. Medium sized sandy play area for little ones. Great Notley Parkrun takes place here every Saturday morning. Can get a bit boggy and muddy during rainfall, however!
Perfect size park with different kinds of playgrounds spread across the whole park which makes the experience even more fun for the kids. It's not 5 stars because the cafe was closed during the bank holiday, sky rope was also closed and the football pitches were only available after paying quite expensive fees. Car park fees were not cheap but reasonable, especially if you plan to stay more than 4 hours. Worth the visit.
