Addison Howard Park — Attraction in Kempston

Addison Howard Park is truly a hidden gem in Kempston! The park impresses with its beautifully maintained green spaces and peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for family walks, jogging, or relaxed picnics on sunny days. The newly updated playground is fantastic – safe, colorful, and well-designed, offering plenty of fun for children.

I also appreciate the variety the park offers – there are sports courts, an outdoor gym, and large open spaces where you can walk your dog. Everything is clean, well-kept, and welcoming to visitors. The park also regularly hosts events, so there’s always something interesting happening.

Access is easy, with parking available on-site. However, it would be even better if there were more trash bins throughout the park and easier access to toilets, especially for families with young children.

For me, Addison Howard Park is still the perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and refreshing outdoor space!

So nice to have such a large green space in a family urban area. Although this is off a main road, it has a children's park which is safely gate posted (although I'm sure adult supervision advised!) Its a lovely play park, with some gym type equipment things, that adults & teenagers can enjoy - well, I do anyway!! There is enough room for dog walkers, football games, the weekly workouts & there have been some improvements since my last visit; more benches, more bins & more dog waste bins (important to the whole of the parks' other users.) The trees are lovely & many & the squirrels are numerous, cheeky & not lacking in confidence! Good for walkers, runners & cyclists & in good weather, just for lazing about on the grass, either with a picnic or just a good book. Of working/training in nearby area, it's a great place to really escape to for half an hour or so. The council do well in upkeep of the park. A refreshing green space & a...

It's spacious with plenty off space to run around & have fun.

I find that there's not much for children older.than about 10 years off age.

Plenty off football pitches & trees + benches to sit under by. However, there's only 1 toilet available & it doesn't allways work or have adequate facilities.

I live opposite the park & often find that people have littered whilst being there, which upsets me as there's plenty off bins.

It's right near the bus stops going to & from Bedford town, which is handy if you don't have a car. There is parking available if you do have a car.

The park is full off grey squirrels, they may come near you, if you're lucky enough. I have had many encounters off the squirrel kind, lol.

All in all, a good park with scope for...
