Riversley Park — Attraction in Nuneaton and Bedworth

What kind of community park gives people parking tickets for being there less than 45 minutes when parking is free for 3 hours but we didn't know you needed to still display a parking ticket! We apologised, explaining this was our first time at the park and usually you would not need a ticket for free parking at parks and that due to the effects of Coronavirus we could not afford to pay the fine. Myself and my partner have been impacted financially and this was our first family outing since March! They then show absolutely no sympathy to our simple mistake despite pleading that we really can't afford the fine and insist that we have to pay it.

The maintenance guys are obsessed with trimming grass to an inch of its life rather than rewilding areas to help bees , and other species. I wish there was recycling bins and campaigns to keep area tidy. I chose to go through park for a bit of fresh air and nature since Nuneaton is so deprived of forests and I wish it was our pride and joy. Thank god they put flowers to look good in front of museum and the trees are not...
