• "The 'mansion' in the centre of the park is in a dire state and quite an eyesore."

Parking & Accessibility

Pros:

• "There are parking charges, but if you do not have coins or a card (if I'm correct) you can ring them up."
• "On site car park also available, which does get full. However, there is street parking available which isn't too far."
• "There's plenty of parking right next to the arts centre."
• "You can park in holders lane for free as main carpark is not."
• "Plenty of parking available."
• "Car park was small but managed to find a space just as I was about to exit. There was space for maybe 30 cars, but there are some other car parks nearby."
• "The carpark had enough disabled parking spaces, there were several carparks on the way as we made our way to the wildlife conservation."

Cons:

• "Parking is definitely a let down, it's an okay price compared to some parks but, the spaces are limited."
• "Car parking at the park is a problem you just need to be patient, and it can be bad on days where there is a cricket match on."
• "Car park is small I won't lie you may struggle."
• "Parking is very limited so need to find a quiet street nearby."
• "Parking available is not adequate and we ended up getting a ticket for £25 for not parking within a marked area."
• "Only downside is there is limited parking available on site, you are required to pay in order to park."
• "Visited quite a few times now, parkings always a problem at weekends due to being next to the Cricket Ground."
