It is also a very well-known open venue for many festivals and sports events. Nicholas Everitt is the oldest motorboat racing venue in the World!

You can hire a boat to wander around the marina, River and waterways across the Broads National Park - Britain's largest protected wetland and third largest inland waterway.

Children's Play Area and Amusement Park are great attractions for children and families! While children's Play Area is free for all, Amusement Park is chargeable. Not to mention the Cafés, Icecream Kiosks, Restaurants around and within the Nicholas Everitt Park making it a pleasant, vibrant, energetic and blissful atmosphere for all! Having said that, sadly there are not enough accessible play equipments for children with mobility needs! We must have to include accessible play equipments so that all children of all abilities can explore & enjoy the Play Area!

The management of the Park must be thanked for their efforts and dedication keeping the park and all the amenities tidy, clean, and resourceful! Having said that, it was very difficult finding information about the Nicholas Everitt Park online - there aren't any dedicated webpage about the park and also confusing information about the Park Authority! It would be ideal to have dedicated presence online with key information, map, accessibility details, tennis courts booking details so that visitors and tourists can find the necessary information easily and plan their visit to this...
