"A lovely park for a walk kids play areas plus a small cafe that's dog friendly big outside area small inside sitting area."
"Exellent family friendly park, free parking and many pokestops if you into that sort of thing :)."
Cons:
"Very rude in shop charged the same price for a cup of hot water as a cup of tea a smile and thank you would of been nice shall not use facilities again though park was very good only one star due to rudeness of staff."
"There is a few areas that have been victim to vandalism... With fences broken and thrown into the lakes, it's a shame that some people can't just leave well alone really..."
"Cleanliness and Tidyness of the area could do with some time and effort."
"It looked like the park in general could use more tending to."
"The car park is terrible if it's been raining. Lots of standing water and poorly laid out."
"It is a shame though due to the current gate that access swan pool lake is not possible."
"Just a shame my 8yr old son got beat up and thrown in nettles, and then on our leave we were confronted by people in a car verbally swearing and threatening my husband for driving the wrong way out of the park."
Wildlife and Nature
Pros:
"It has a lake which houses so much wild life!"
"The variety of wildlife here is staggering and the area is well-maintained by the park rangers."
"Just for starters I've counted at least six different species of ducks and two species of deer."
"The lakes are home to numerous wild birds and there are a number of benches dotted about to take a seat and soak in the views."
"We fed the Robins, ducks, geese, pigeons... and I've never known such confident and curious squirrels!"
"A large lake dominates the park encouraging several species of birds, swans, various ducks and Canada geese."
"There is lots of wildlife if you look for it including Deer, fox, rabbit, squirrel, frogs, snakes plus a plethora of birds including heron's nesting, kingfishers and friendly robins."
Cons:
"The gardens aren't really gardens, with limited flowers."
"Just dogs spoilt it a bit having to dodge them running off leads and splattering us with mud as they squeezed past."
"You have to come very early to see the deer as they are very shy and expert at hiding as soon as people appear."
"Had a lovely walk around with the dogs and friends... one of our dogs stood on glass though n cut open his paw."
"Conservation areas designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest are quite fragile and contain many rare species, so please stick to the paths in those areas."
"Once again we have a lovely country park being spoilt by irresponsible members of the public."
"Unfortunately some older children spoil it for the younger children at times."
Cafe and Food Services
Pros:
"Then we walked back to the cafe for a snack, at reasonable prices."
"The cafe is limited to take away only, due to Covid-19, and toilets are available."
"Nice little cafe with hot and cold food at great prices and toilets."
"The cafe is lovely with visitors toilets near-by."
"The cafe is good for a hot drink and cake on a cold day or icecream in the summer."
"Cafe on grounds with toilet facilities and seating."
"A reasonably priced cafe is available and there is also access to clean and maintained toilets."
Cons:
"Lovely park but we got ice cream at cafe and thought the lady was really rude who worked there."
"Would have given 5 stars but the cafe, while friendly, does need to improve the quality of the food it offers!"
"A good, inexpensive family day out. We took a picnic so didn't use the cafe. Cafe is very expensive and has limited choice of food."
"The cafe is a bit of an afterthought and far too small for the number of people wanting to use it at busy times."
"Toilets and showers could do with modernising but don't get the wrong idea they are still adequate."
"My only complaint as a disabled person is the lack of blue badge parking spots- as far as I can tell there are only 2 spaces available!"
"Is within walking distance of Lincoln City centre if you like walking but if you have children I'm afraid you'll have to pay for parking as very limited free parking near the centre."
