    Beautiful park with lots of areas for laying down your blanket for a picnic. Great playground for children. Pool is closed for refurbishing.

    A great green space in the heart of Kenilworth. Plenty of opportunity to explore the different areas with something for every need. Kids play area, ancient Abbey ruins, peaceful church and cemetery, Lake for feeding ducks(corn), and grasslands or many veteran trees to admire. Plenty of opportunity to engage with nature, exercise or just relax in a bench and watch the world go by. Very nicely managed for both recreation and environment.

    One of the best parks I've ever been in. Hills, a huge lake, playgrounds, huge pastures, ancient and diverse trees. I litter pick in the park most weekdays after work and it has been truly healing to find such a relaxing space. Also excellent for doggies!

    Always a lovely place to visit at any time of year. The parkland is beautiful and tranquil, the childrens play area is extensive and keeps the little ones occupied for hours! Ducks and fish to see in the lake. I will always enjoy coming back here.

    Lovely playground and park. A lot of people are walking their dogs. The birds are singing. The squirrels are very friendly. A squirrel was ready for a photo shooting session - more than 30 pictures in different positions. More than sure for her this photo session was not the first one! 😉😎😎😎

    Great 'lung' for Kenilworth! Perfect place for almost everyone...I say almost because there's quite a bit of renovation happening at the moment. (The swimming baths have been demolished!) Nevertheless, it's a super place to get some fresh, exercise and play for the kids. The pond is a highlight with the ducks and geese and other birds. Also a ideal place to walk the dogs...

    Located right next to Kenilworth Castle and the town centre, has a really nice playarea for children of all ages. Enough space to play football and has tennis court situated on the park as well. Good place to go in summer for a family BBQ.

    A fantastic place. Large swathes of land, a beautiful lake with birds to feed, playgrounds for kids and castle ruins in the distance. My family lives on campus of the University of Warwick and we take a weekly stroll through the countryside to go to Abbey Fields. Highly recommended to anyone with kids.

    Good park for younger ones. Plenty of places to roam about. Coffee Van. Lake with ducks/fish. Toilets not great. Too many dogs although they're banned from the gated play area

  • 5/5 art M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice place to visit, this was my second time. There are a few large and gated play areas for the kids and theres a lake in the middle. There is also a public restroom and a place to get coffee, plus an ice cream van. It's fairly pram friendly too. The car park is of moderate size but it can be difficult to find a space, it always seems full and can be narrow in places. It's also pay and display. Kenilworth is within walking distance and that's worth checking out too. As are the ruins of Kenilworth Castle nearby.

    really beautiful park, wonderful for a nice walk

  • 5/5 Alan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely large expanse of field with a small lake in it. Has a few historical sites namely St.Mary's Abbey and also St. Nicholas church on it.

  • 4/5 Michael P. 1 year ago on Google
    Large area of recreation space directly opposite Kenilworth Castle. Large lake area although suffering at moment due to drought conditions. Paths cross the area giving access to the town centre. In the middle of the grounds is a a visitor centre with cafe, children's play area etc. Unfortuneately at time of visiting all seemed to be closed for refurbishment.

  • 5/5 Violet L. 2 years ago on Google
    This park is like no other really in the area....you can swim,walk,coffee,wildlife....and let's face it if the kids are happy running off all that energy, you know they will sleep 🤫🤣 No children, no problem!!! Can I suggest you stay clear of the 2 main parks and enjoy a more peaceful bench or walk a picnic maybe just a couple of meters further on. Either way a stunning few hours will be enjoyed x

  • 5/5 Richard C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely walk around the lake. Lots more walking can be done across the road beyond Kenilworth castle. Great park for the grandchildren and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby for refreshments.

    Abbey fields is a super spot for The Lions Show. Good parking and a great atmosphere. Lots of stalls, and activities for the children. A pleasant and relaxing afternoon 😊

  • 3/5 Andreas C. 6 months ago on Google
    Pleasant space to walk through. Not particularly big or different. Worth while for local residents. Got to see some ancient ruins, but they will be covered up soon

  • 5/5 Tracy T. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely little place with fab surroundings for walking dogs and playarea for children. Picked a cheeky icecream up from the pop up near the car park.

  • 5/5 Barbora �. 2 years ago on Google
    Y favourite place to go out for a walk in Kenilworth. Close by to the city centre and the castle. You always see swans, ducks, sometimes even a kingfisher on the lake.

  • 5/5 Colin R. 11 months ago on Google
    Very good park for toddlers. Easily one of the best. 2 free hours of parking is great. Love to see the ducks and feed them, they are very friendly. Always other great families about. The sand pit, which is massive, is easily my daughter's favourite part. They have climbing frames and apparatus for all ages. I just wish I lived in walking distance. Ignore everything I said.. it's a whole construction site at the moment.
