For decades I’ve visited the Strand. In all seasons and in all types of weather. I’ve met many interesting people here over the years. A lovely man called Derick comes to the Strand as often as he can, even Christmas Day; as he met his late wife here, many years ago. He feels like the Strand is part of his family.
Sadly I think it’s Terrible, you have to pay to park here; to take your kids to play in a park, or swim. Going to a leisure park, Should be free, so families can go there more often to use the Park or Swimming Pool, for the Children to enjoy. Children need to play.
I know some people that don’t go here anymore due to the parking fees. People with Children should be able to park for free. Don’t get me wrong, The Strand is a great place. It truly is and I’ve visited hundreds of times.
The Strand itself is a tranquil grounding experience if you sit on a bench and the tide is in. Especially very early as the Sun comes up.
Walk along to the Boat yard and sadly sometimes there’s normally raw sewage, floating on the water. Disgusting. Hopefully it’s gone by now.
Not used the Swimming Pool in years but my children used to love the park. The Play area is really lovely and there’s lots of different apparatus to climb, or play on.
The tiny miniature Train is still here and all ages can jump on and tour the park.
The small kids Water area is open again so they can splash around and dodge the sprinklers.
A Cafe for food and drink.
Training apparatus in the field for adults to get fit. ( where the golf used to be )
Disability toilets and toilets for all.
4 car parks.
A Lovely peaceful place early morning and late in the evening.
Edit: The Fair was here today and it was very busy. The rides looked like...

Read moreI don't even know what to say. Absolutely disgraceful, never seen such dirty bug ridden water. At first we were slightly disappointed that the pool overall was very disimilar compared to the pictures we has earlier seen. We could see that the pool had not been cleaned in a while as it's floor was grisly and brown. Having paid twenty pounds we had to at least attempt getting comfortable and having a dip. When jumping in only then we realised how filthy it was. I can imagine sea water and lakes to be cleaner. The water was so unclean and floating with tiny elements of dirt everywhere that tiny worms which form under the surface of dirty water were literally dominating the entire pool. It was like swimming amongst debree. A form was filled out on exit, they better act quickly on getting a refund made. Disgusting how no one cares to inform us at the reception despite having a stack of...
