Many a happy day as a little girl playing on the swings, roundabouts and slides. The Lions Den, is a building which has nothing in it but two Lions on either side. Lots of children climb these and sit whilst parents take photos. The Lake itself has been updated. As years ago it was used mainly for the launch boat to take families around the Lake for a few pennies. Alas no more launch or rowing boats on the water anymore. There is a lovely place to stop for a drink or a snack called The Boatyard which is run by adults with learning difficulties. You can sit inside or out so it's an all weather cafe. The view outside is for taking the peace and tranquility and to enjoy some of the Boatyards Bill of Fare. Overall Alexandra Park is a gem and there are lots of interesting places on route around the park. It has 2 big car parks and the area is more than suitable for the infirm and for disability scooter users. Its a must if you enjoy horticulture and wildlife.
