This 12-acre park features a tranquil lake, walking trails, and abundant wildlife, including swans, ducks, and fish. Visitors can rent boats and enjoy a relaxing ride on the lake or stroll along the water's edge and take in the scenic views. The park also has a children's play area, picnic tables, and a café serving light refreshments.
Griffiths Park is a lovely place to go for a walk by yourself, with your family/friends or with your dog, somewhere to kick a ball, ride a bike, play sports/train, picnic, or just to sit and enjoy the day. There is a large football field, children's play equipment area and above that a lovely circular nature walk with a few sculptures to look at. The circular walk has alot of extra paths coming off it, so you can 'take the scenic route' if you want a little longer walk. The main path is buggy/pram and mobility scooter accessible (but can be muddy and puddley when its been raining), the extra paths are a little narrow and overgrown in areas, but are easy to walk through. Griffiths park is very dog friendly and a good place for off leash walks or playing fetch. There are seats/benches dotted along the paths (none in shade), but no picnic tables, some bins and dog poo bins along the lower path that goes around the playing field (no bins on the upper circular walk). The field is kept mown, it is a fairly well maintained park. There is also two parking lots which are always easy to get a parking spot. There are a few areas that have been vandalised/grafettied and a little bit of glass around but don't let this/these areas put you off as this park is really a very nice place to visit. Different times of the day and week brings different people to the park. For example, during the week on mornings you will find alot of dog walkers, afternoons school kids like to hang out (all have been very well behaved that we have seen). It has been nice to see people from the community getting together to tidy and litter pick the park. Also to be able to attend the community fun days and foot ball events that have been on. If you will be using the upper path, make sure to wear your wellies if it's been raining! Also, there can be a huge puddle to cross at the carpark closest to the Coop (would be good if that drain was sorted out). This is such a lovely park!
Not the most scenic of walks but great if you have a dog and live in rudheath and want some peace away from the streets. I go here everyday without fail. Just a shame so many people leave all their rubbish, especially after the kids have been playing football
Great Park ...we use it daily made so many friends walking our dogs, my grandchildren love it too as so many adventures for them there, In a safe environment it has a playground, sculptures, woods, always a different track to discover....it really is a lovely place. Also a fantastic football pitch ! What more could you want in an already built up area other than a wonderful free accessible open space. If I could give it 100 I would
Fantastic community space that great for little ones learning to ride bikes to walking dogs, running and keeping active . A little gem of perfect green space in a heavily populated residential area. With something for everyone of all ages and various environments for a range of habitats it's a great place to get some fresh air... refocus the mind and get moving!
Beautiful park we walk our dog in, clean surroundings, wildlife meadow is amazing. Children having kick abouts, its the locals meeting place, seating to congregate and watch the world go by. Husband and sons regularly played footy here, and now watch local teams play on Sundays. Perfectly nearby to home, no need to drive. Hidden gem
Love this local park and the various paths that there are around it to walk my dog! Met lots of people to talk to on my daily dog walks and I also bring my son to play football and a play on the park after school where he will meet his friends! Small carpark and a Coop next to it too! You can access from the main road or the canal towpath to explore other walks!
