    Excellent park to enjoy a walk or picnic with your family. There is a nice playground for the children to play in. Parking is onsite for free. Park is well looked after. Definitely worth going and having a look around.

    Love the natural feeling so peaceful with the lake and the trees. If theres one thing to complan about it would be that i wish they were exercise areas in the park like other parks it would be nice to exercise in nature.

    Nice Park, has a bit of everything. There are swings, slides etc. for little kids. Large pond, with wildlife, some people do fish there. There is a large open area for people to walk dogs, jog & walk. Only small issue is that some irresponsible people who let their dogs litter, without picking up! There is usually an ice-cream van selling ice-cream during summer months

    I love it here. Walk around the lake. I came here as a child too when there were boats and people sitting on the banks every summer Sunday.

  • 4/5 Sas 2 years ago on Google
    It was a lovely afternoon! PLEASE don't go and feed the birds (there's signs and notices warning of this too). Saying don't for valid reasons, sad to see that in our 1hr spent here, we saw so many people bringing bread and buckets of cooked biriyani as feed. This is so damaging...please refrain from doing so.

    Went on a sunny day and it was stunning... Very peaceful. Great for a picnic on the grass or by the water

  • 1/5 Joanne G. 6 months ago on Google
    Blue /green algae in the pool. So many dead fish, and the most dreadful smell. Don't visit around the pool if this is likely to distress you or your young children. Don't let dogs in the water!

  • 4/5 TAHIR M. 6 months ago on Google
    A lovely park, sometimes spoilt by the traveller community leaving it like a tip and also some users of the park don't understand the meaning of natural beauty spot and decided to throw their rubbish on the floor and the dog walkers who think their dog's poo is for someone to take home on their heels and not them taking responsibility. Generally lovely green soace

    Nice time spent with 4 of my grand children, πŸ’–.

  • 5/5 Kashif M. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice clean quite park. Plenty of parking and ample area for picnic or to play around. Enjoy a nice walk along the lake. Kids area as well.

  • 3/5 Dan B. 10 months ago on Google
    There were some naughty teenage boys with no t-shirts on riding a motorbike very fast across the park while little children were having picnics with their parents. The boys must have felt very big and strong and clever. I bet all the parents were looking at them thinking "Ooh, those boys are big and strong and clever!" The naughty teenage boys with no t-shirts earned my respect and admiration that day. I hope they return soon!

    Beautiful park. Always a pleasure to walk round

  • 4/5 Nadi K. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful lake and best placeto do my dailywalk..need more safety measures though for little toddlers playing around the lake. Parents with lille kids and people with pets need to be more alert around this beautiful lake .

  • 4/5 Mitesh P. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice morning visit to Swanshurst Park. Unfortunately unable to feed the ducks here which was a of a bummer for the kids. However the open space to play with their ball helped

  • 5/5 Wahid A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little local walk round the lake. I think the council has cleaned the lake surroundings over winter. Much improved.

  • 4/5 Rob L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean park. Good playground for little ones couldn't see any restrooms or picnic area but there were benches to sit on to eat food

  • 5/5 ian t. 1 year ago on Google
    All you need for a local park. Nice walk around and a place to play for kids.

  • 5/5 MARTIN P. 2 years ago on Google
    My local park. Excellent park for relaxing. You can just sit and what the birds or walk around the lake as I do. Great exercise in lovely surroundings. A shame that there are those who use the park and leave their rubbish behind.

  • 5/5 Sifat 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for morning or evening walk with animals or family. There is a small park for the kids as well however, parking place is limited.

  • 4/5 Jason B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice Park, relatively clean. The lake is a nice touch as I am partial to water. A small playground too

  • 4/5 Gandalf M. S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little park. Swings, slides and a lake to walk around or jog around. Just a shame that so many people bring their dogs and can't control them.

  • 4/5 Harmi J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Park, lovely on a sunny day. Loads of open space with a rather large duck pond in the middle. Very nice place to go for a little walk

  • 3/5 Daniella 2 years ago on Google
    Nice enough place for a relaxing stroll. Nothing exciting, just a big pond with ducks and geese

  • 4/5 Alex P. 2 years ago on Google
