I just love Alexandra Park, we try and go at least twice a week and everytime it's different, some plants will be in bloom others will be coming to an end, it also seems to change according to the weather, when it has been raining the smell of the woods is beautifully aromatic and fresh, the leaves glisten as the sun reappears through the trees, we see plenty of wildlife, squirrels, water rats, shrews, Magpies, Collared doves, ducks, Moore Hens and friendly pidgeons that sometimes you can hand feed. There are plenty of toilets available and a plethera of benches and places to just sit and watch the world go by, you can have picnics or have a nice cup of tea or coffee with a bit of cake etc. at the Cafe. Dogs are welcomed as long as they are kept on a leash, but please take doggy poo bags and dispose of them into one of the many dog waste bins. There is a brilliant enclosed childrens play park, a bowling green, Tennis courts and football cages, so it doesnt matter what you are in to there is something for everyone, young or old. That is why I am giving this place a 5...
Read moreProbably the most beautiful park in East Sussex, England, Alexandra Park boasts of 44 hectares of land in the heart of Hastings. It is a very popular attraction for family picnics, exercises, outdoor activities, dog walks to name a few. I always go here to unwind and enjoy nature especially when the birds starts to roost in their nests and listen to their beautiful songs as well as I enjoy the many types of trees, plants, shrubs and its amazing nature landscapes. Amenities are good with free public toilets, outdoor activities like their Multi-use Games Area and restaurants along the stretch of the park which is maintained all throughout the year. There are bicycle lanes, tennis courts, a football/basketball pitch, children’s playground, ponds, and a fishing spot too. Dog walkers are advised to put lead on certain areas of the park. Car parking around the park is mostly free and accessible but can also be challenging especially when the weather is sunny and bright as people flock to the park to enjoy it. Highly...
Read moreIt is a very well known park in Hastings which I visited 3 week ago with my family. The park is 5-8 minutes drive from the town centre. With the assistance from Google map, I found the park very easily but couldn't park near the entrance. I was directed to the far end of the park where I parked my car and entered into the park. The open space and natural beauty of this park is unquestionable and we spent a great evening by walking through the park. Young people can play football here, adult can seat besides the small canal and the pond in the middle of the park. Children can also play at the playground and have fun. There are two café in the park but they are closed due to Covid-19. We also visited the war memorial inside the park which is situated near the main entrance. When we were checking the main entrance, we found that there are few parking spaces opposite of the main entrance. Overall, we enjoyed our visit here and recommend...
