It was such a lovely place! I visited Grantham for the very first time. Small quiet city I must say. I decided to visit the park, maybe a wakk to look around.
I was impressed by how neat the park was, very well kept. The mapping, the walk ways. There was the beautiful stream with what looked like staircase waterfall thing. The scene and the sound was very relaxing. The children playground was fun too. Lots of play options, I found myself on the “rollercoaster" rolling and laughing like a kid, I visited some of the courts; table tennis, lawn tennis, football pitch, older children playground, bowling side. The outdoor gym was spacious and easy to use. There were so many sit outs and corners for photoshoots, picnics, had me imagining what summer would look like. There was this boat riding place, not sure what it was as we met it closed but it looked interesting.
Lots of people were walking there dogs and I paid particular attention to a lady who picked up her dog’s dung as soon as it did the poo, it made me appreciate the neatness culture. Ofcourse there were bins on all corners so it seems pretty easy to keep up with good sanitation.
I will definitely visit again if I find myself in Grantham sometime in the future.

Read moreHonestly never liked a park more. It has so many things to do for all ages. There are many walking routes, a table tennis area, 2 playgrounds, a small field of grass, a small basketball court, a tiny pond with flowers and nature, an ice-cream takeaway café with many flavours, a pool/lake in which you can control small boats for £1, a splashy pool area for kids, an outside gym/fitness area and more. It has lots of nature such as trees and flowers. It may get a little muddy but that's ok! The River Witham runs through it making a nice sight and a beautiful walk at the riverside. You can also rent a bike to ride around the park. The toilets are free. It has many walk paths to take a stunning walk around. There's also a little wooden dock by the river. The river is crystal clear with some occasional fish or kingfisher and almost no plastic or rubbish. It's in a great location, too. The park is quite large and it basically never gets boring. It's best to go in summer, or really in any time of year to take a walk. It's a really great place and I really recommend...
Read moreThis is our favourite place to go as a family! It has everything. It is a very large park, ideal for runners, dog walkers and even cyclists. There are lots of different playgrounds, one for older kids, one for little ones which is gated, and there is an area with outdoor exercise equipment. There is a large pond where members of a motorboat club bring their remote controlled boats, which is cool. The River Witham runs through the park, with plenty of footbridges to overlook the beautiful river. Lots of children play in the river, as it is quite shallow, they love it. If the river isn't for you, there is the paddling splash part, not far from the river which is free and open from May to September. Plenty of places to sit and have a picnic. There is a little café on site along with an ice cream shop and normally an ice cream van. There are toilets in the middle of the park next to the visitor centre. We haven't been able to go to the visitor centre, as it has been closed when we arrive. I fully recommend this place for...
