    It's not big, but I enjoy walking there very much. Can be a little bit muddy, but that's what you get from having a park near the river.

    There is a place in Lake View Park called Sherbourne Labirynth. When you are in the middle of the Park (as long as Malvern Rd location), Youu need to find a bushes looking like in the jungle, then goes in and walk as long You reach river Sherbourne. It's a lot of fun in this place.

    Awesome place for evening walk with or without dog and calm place for relaxing.... beautiful view from any side of the park ...A small forest near the park is an adventure.

    This is a hidden gem, very big park, a water stream runs along a path, many a dog was playing in the shallow clear water stream, a couple of benches to rest, but you need to wear wellies when it's wet, it's ok when dry days. Enjoy 👍😀🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Now here's something interesting. When you go into Lakeview Park Nature Reserve you may notice things that usually do not crop up in nature reserves. OK, you will see many different types of birds. In the quiet of morning, or when dusk is falling, you may hear the call of a fox; you may even see a fox or a badger. But as you wander around the lanes you will notice parts of old fences . . . maybe an old wooden gate. At certain times of year, if you look into the wild parts at the side of the lane where you are walking, you may see apple trees, plum trees and pear trees bearing fruit, and you wonder why fruit trees are in a nature reserve. Here's the reason. Many years ago this nature reserve used to be an allotment site and you walk through places where folks spent their time growing their own veg, and where they spent leisure hours with their families. And now? Now the allotments have returned to the wild and they are the nature reserve in Lakeview Park.

    No lake , no children's play area, no toilets, no stalls. Very few people just walking. Good for dog walkers may be. Needs so much maintenance, before one can visit as a park

  • 5/5 Ian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful area with a mix of grassland, woodland, wetland and river. Being looked after by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust as part of the River Sherbourne Project.

    Mid winter visit to Lakeview but 58 degrees and v v sunny. An absolute delite. Had a lovely lunch in the sun.

  • 4/5 Lauren G. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice relaxing place, good area to walk dogs. Only problem is there aren't too many exits to get to the other side

  • 4/5 Julia W. 8 months ago on Google
    Large open green space with the River Sherbourne running through it. It is currently undergoing improvement as an area to encourage more wildlife. There's no hard paths around it and it can get a bit muddy underfoot so wear some decent shoes or wellies. Heard an owl on our recent visit and spotted bats feeding once it got dark. It's shielded reasonably from streetlights due to the trees so you can also do a bit of stargazing. There's no dedicated car park so you park on one of the surrounding roads if you come by car.

    Love the huge Eastern Cottonwood tree, native to America, Europe and some parts of Asia. One of the fastest growing hardwood trees. Ideally planted next to a stream and can go up to 30 metres tall. Respect!

  • 4/5 Jason W. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely park, but spoilt by sporadic antisocial behaviour, and dog poo bags left on the path or thrown into bushes.

  • 3/5 Kate M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of grass, trees and birds. We've seen tadpoles here and a newt as well as buzzards, egrets and smaller birds. There's a place where you can splash in the river. Lots of dogs and often a lot of rubbish (although we often see people litter picking too - thank you!)

  • 5/5 Nobby C. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place to go for a walk, there is a small stream running through the middle of the park, there is also free parking, this is on a side road, it's great for walking your dog

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing park, good for dog walkers, not much for kids here, and can be quite swampy and very muddy in parts

  • 5/5 Megan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect space for a dog walk. Ours particularly enjoys the little river for fetch!

  • 5/5 John E. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to walk the dogs...no lake though as the name would suggest lol

  • 5/5 David M. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful park. They have created lovely nature walks by the river a through the woods.

  • 5/5 Susan R. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely little oasis of calm in the city with the pretty river running through it. Nature reserve there too.

  • 4/5 Jack B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good for dog walking but be sure to wear waterproof footwear as it's almost always very muddy and swampy.

  • 5/5 Rob Y. 2 years ago on Google
    A great, big hidden park perfect for dogs, picnics and jogging.

  • 5/5 Angie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this park, lots of lovely different walks, lots of dog owners happy to have a chat while dogs play, definitely recommend boots or wellies if it's rained recently, lots of parts get waterlogged. Would be improved if more dog owners picked up after their dogs, there are bins really accessible in several places around the park.
