An extensive park stretching from the main road down to the river Severn. Named after a heroic battle fought by the Worcestershire Regiment at Gheluvelt in Belgium in WW1. There's a rather strange war memorial made of rusting iron girders.
Barbourne Brook winds through it, feeding a duck pond.
The newly refurbished tennis courts are sadly locked up and the very popular splash pad is all too frequently out of order.
An excellent range of children's play apparatus on a soft area that is as safe as can be keeps our grandchildren happy.
There's a cafe and a refreshment kiosk, though currently (August 2020) on limited opening hours.
When the splash pad is mended and the toilets, tennis courts and cafe are fully open 5 stars will be deserved.
Update Easter holidays 2022: splash pad working! Cafe...

Also, the toilets can smell vile. They are directly in the sun, so it's like a hotbox of musky pee. Not so nice. Perhaps an automated airfresher could be put in each of them to at least mask the smell of urine, as i appreciate they can't be constantly cleaned with how often...

A large multi use city park with mainly recreational use across al age ranges. One section house a decent size kids play area, a small lake, water splash pad, tennis courts, table tennis and a kick around area. There's a seasonal small cafe and toilet block. The other main section is largely left as a natural area used mainly by dog walkers and walkers, it is virtually adjacent to Worcester race course so provides a decent length and tranquil setting. This section also houses a decent eco-cafe which proves good quality natural products and home made style cakes. Along the tarmac footpath are a number of adult exercise machines which appear to be...
