Great for dog walks and the dogs can have a swim in the smaller pool! It has a flat path most of the way around, which makes it an easy walk for prams and wheelchair users, also very popular with cyclists. The walk through the woods can get very muddy and quite uneven in places. From Acres Nook car park the walk is quieter, walking past fields and woods and usually there are less people about From that end. From the Boathouse road car park there are more people and especially children around and there is a great little play area with swings. Plenty of benches, pic nic tables, dog poo bins and litter bins, a shame not everyone uses them. No toilet facilities. Occasionally an ice cream van parks up in the car park off Boathouse Road.

Fantastic park to stroll around as most of the paths are tarmac surfaced. Fairly easy wheelchair access from all park entry points. Unfortunately there are no public conveniences nor is there a refreshments booth. The park is well maintained and dog walkers are encouraged to keep their pets on a leash. There are doggy bins too! Plenty of benches and picnic tables are situated throughout the park. A Ski club operates the dry ski slope within the park. Trains trundle past on the adjacent railway. Quite often anglers may be spotted sporting for a catch out of the pool.

Beautiful place for a relaxing walk. Wheel chair accessible as its flat and pathed all around. Lots of off path routes too. The place is clean with enough bins and doggy bins. Lots of friendly people about, lots of dogs, and there's a nice little sand area with benches that the children love to play in and around🙂 Its not sign posted very well, got lost the first 2 times as it took us up the hill to the meat factory but they pointed us in the right direction.😁

With the history of the famous black Panther story, it's a well-kept, clean park. There are rugby pitches and ski slopes, and it's a nice place to escape and gather one's thoughts. Also, the railway line runs through alongside. What would enhance this park further? Possibly some public toilets and a cafe. Although there is a lovely pub at the top of the hill, well, worth a visit. The pub is called the Rifleman. Happy walks, people.

We stopped here for a short walk, picnic and a read in really peaceful surroundings. There were a few people walking around with their dogs that were having a fab time (and swim) in the lake. Occasional trains passing by but otherwise very quiet and a lovely hour spent here.
