Playground
Pros:
"Nice place with good playground for kids and decent cafe."
"There is a large play fort with swings for smaller children, climbing net/frame to access the fort."
"A huge gated playground and lots of fun wooden equipment for kids."
"The children's play area is good but can get really crowded."
"Lots for the kids to do with a play fort as well as a number of smaller play areas dotted around."
"There is a playground with a big tube slide and a small tube slide, a lot of fun for the kids."
"Fantastic for kids as the play areas are very good and loads to play on."
Cons:
"The play area is nowhere near as fun as it used to be as they have removed anything suitable for older children 10+."
"Not so great for slightly older kids (9-10+) as the adventure equipment is more for the younger ones."
"The play area looks great however half of the main area is taped off, the toddler area is missing items which are replaced with traffic cones and there is only one swing."
"Main play area has a small kids section but currently it's all broken and taped off."
"The playground could do with some extension and improvement though, it's just too small and cramped for how busy it gets."
"Part of the main play park seems to have been broken and therefore closed off."
"We felt awful saying no to our children when they asked to go on the play equipment as it still isn't allowed and half taped off."
Parking
Pros:
"Only £1.50 to park all day."
"There is ample parking but small charge applies."
"There is a fully hard surfaced car park that costs £2 for the day."
"Car parking was easy enough with a few spaces free but you do have to pay."
"Parking was cheap, at only £2 for the entire day."
"Parking is £2 for the whole day and you can also pay by Ringo app."
"Parking was quite reasonable £1.50 all day."
Cons:
"Although yes, £2 for all day at the park is a good price, there is not an option for paying less for being there for less than an hour."
"The parking me ght get pricey ( for up to 6h costs £2 but for the day it's £12!!!)."
"Downside is the car park price, a minimum charge of £2.60, but lasts up to 6 hours. However not such value if its a quick visit tho."
"I wish you could buy a cheaper season ticket for car park as £2 to walk the dog each time is a little expensive."
"Parking is a flat rate, so if you're only going for half hour or so after school paying the full £1.50 gets a bit tiresome."
"Parking is pricey if you don't have kids and the intention to stay more than a couple hours."
"I resent paying the £2.00 parking charge there should be concessions for people who live in the local area."
Cafe
Pros:
"Nice and clean toilets and a cafe with very friendly staff."
"Cafe was nice and not a bad price."
"Cafe good, well covid proofed and choice of gluten free cake options."
"The cafe staff were cheerful and helpful and gave us cardboard to put on the wet seats outside so that we could sit and enjoy a coffee."
"Cafe on site near to parking so easy to warm up after a winter walk with a coffee."
"The cafe serves up lovely dishes from bacon baps to jacket potatoes."
"Nice scones in the cafe too."
Cons:
"The cafe was very disappointing."
"Cafe extremely expensive. 3 fruit shoots, bottle of water, 3 star fish shaped biscuits, 3 jellies, and a small pot of grapes almost £25 !!"
"Also café is rather expensive too."
"Cafe was dirty as well."
"Pretty poor food in the cafe,was so disappointed as it was good when we visited before."
"The cafe on the other hand is disgusting in price. £5 for the kids box meal."
"The cafe is disgustingly over priced, £13 pounds just for 3 ice lolly absolute rip off."
General Park Experience
Pros:
"Exceptionally busy considering current COVID restrictions but we managed to find a distant picnic table."
"The park was well kept parking was easy good for the disabled for wheelchair accessible also for mum's and dad's."
"We went to the Glow Illumination Trail this year for the first time. It was good, we were with a five-year-old who thought it was magical."
"Nice walks through the woods and plenty for the kids to do."
"Lovely place for a dog walk, take the kids."
"The park and grounds are very good. Really worth the visit."
"A beautiful park with great play areas, picnic tables, toilets and a café."
Cons:
"Nice walk but people do not stick to the 2 metres distance."
"A lovely park but very hilly - if you have small children new to bike riding this could be an issue (as my back will testify haha)."
"Bins overflowing outside."
"This place really smelt of dead animals."
"The Glow experience is very poor. For £45 family ticket you get a 20 min walk through the park and see less lights than you would walking along most streets in Xmas."
"But a wee bit too much poop around. Please dog walkers, put it in the bin."
"Noise from motorway also a shame but pretty trees."
