Leaving a 1 star review because 0 stars isn’t an option! I have been to Stanley park many times before usually to the skate park or with family to the play park however, yesterday me and my friend thought it would be nice on our day trip to the otherwise lovely park, to have a go on the peddle boats on the boating lake, only to find the place is run by a child no older than 13. What we witnessed next is appalling! We paid £10 for our 30 minute peddle boat ride to then wait for over half an hour watching people who arrived after us go before us to then find that after they’d closed all the boats other than two motor boats that they’d forgotten us so we had to downgrade from 30 minutes to 15 minutes as we now had to use the motor boat and were told to hurry up on our ride and weren’t even offered a refund or an apology at all! Not to mention the abhorrent state of the boat that we were on as well, littered with rubbish and muck, you could just tell they never get cleaned. We also watched as this young boy gave a group of teenage girls free tickets for use of their e-cigarette. Overall I found the place to be extremely poorly run and would not recommend this experience to anyone. Aside from the boating lake we found Stanley Park to be a great location for a day out and it’s especially great for family trips.
