Park Facilities
Pros:
"Best park in Watford for kids, adults and for any age group."
"Lovely big park with lots for the children to do."
"Good cafe area with Excellent facilities, baby change etc. Good service in cafe, food ok."
"A lovely park with different areas, there's a wooded section with a river running through it, there is a mini zoo."
"The park has natural beauty, paths for walking or cycling."
"There is a newly refurbished cafe and fountain play area for kids."
"The Watford model railway next to the playground is a must, great fun for big and small."
Cons:
"A downside for us is that dogs are allowed off their leads."
"The park itself looked more like a rubbish tip with litter all over the place, looked like the bins haven't been emptied and animals had strewn rubbish from them."
"It's currently having some kind of construction work done so parking is a slight issue."
"The only down side to this is it's not very well advertised and we only found out about it through word of mouth."
"The bouncy castle and trampoline closes in the evenings."
"The cafe near the pools was expensive and very busy."
"The only slight niggle is the parking or the lack of when we go to visit we usually end up having to park a long way away and when you have little ones with you getting all your gear to the park can be a struggle."
Parking
Pros:
"Ample parking but because of the popularity gets full by noon."
"There is a car park (first 2 hours are free) which is just a short walk to the park itself where you can use Ringo or pay and display."
"Parking is free after 6pm."
"Free parking (upto two hours free parking, you've got to get a entry time note from the machine though)."
"Main carpark offers 2 hour free parking."
"Parking is free for first two hours and free after 6pm. You can't get better than that."
"Reasonably priced car park with plenty of spaces."
Cons:
"Great day out at cassiobury park splash paddling pool area. It was bank holiday Monday so parking was tricky to say the least!"
"There's limited parking compared to the number of visitors it receives."
"Overcrowded parking over the weekend."
"Only fault parking limited, be prepared to circle it a good few times."
"Parking can be a bit tricky when it’s busy but you can always try park on the other side to the entrance."
"Please note though it gets very busy on nice weekends so parking can be a problem."
"Only issue is parking! Car park absolutely cannot meet with demand leading to roads in and around it choc-a-bloc."

"The care needs a big update on its prices in a cost of living crisis £4 for a bowl of chips."
"The prices and standard of food needs to improve a great deal."
"Some crazy prices for hot dogs etc compared to the Covid prices they seem to have doubled and I can afford to eat here anymore but plenty do."
"Cafe was very over priced and staff were stretched."
"The other was cost of food at Daisys I know it's a franchise and what we had was nice but felt was just a lot, for what we had."
"Prices are a little high maybe but eating out is expensive isn’t it."
