The gate was quite busy with cars and cycles making it a bit hard for pedestrians, but if you walk away from the road, the traffic noise almost disappears. There wasn't any deer visible between here and Rovin Hood Gate, but there was at of runners.

We walked from Kingston Gate to Isabella Plantation. Was a good walk but best to park car outside. There was a lot of traffic and parking restrictions meant that cars were being restricted in. Strongly suggest visiting during spring and summer.

Very big Park, go by car or bicycle is easier. But I got by walking can see more. Deers will stay in forest away from people and Road.

An excellent place for a hike, cycle and relax. There's lots of beautiful deer and scenery. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful park. Great entrance to the beautiful nature. It’s roughly 40 minutes walk to Pembroke lodge cafe. There’s recently opened small takeout cafe in the entrance as well which is very helpful if you needed a coffee or water for your long walk. In almost

Nice new coffee kiosks by the gate. It would be nice to have some benches though in the small garden area. Toilets are great, cheap contactless payment, 20p a go!

Busier than I remembered only just found a parking slot. Perhaps homeworking and Covid have made a difference.

I regularly cycle around the park in the early evening. Great quality road with some reasonable hills.

Beautiful walks if you wanna catch snaps with deer,most of the time, a little bit uphill but if you have got company you wouldn't feel it and refreshments on the top of the parking place.

the park is great. It is a perfect place for walking and cycling with its natural view and clean air. I recommend that you take water and food with you while walking in the park. If you are going for long walks, do not come without water. The park has certain exit points where you can buy water and coffee.

This is one of Kingston upon Thames gems, it is always a pleasure to visit this park, most people use it responsibly,of course some don't which is sad. Some people go to enjoy it but don't want to leave it how they find it ready for the next especially in the summer when litter is an issue, it's a shame, however, the park volunteers do a great job of keeping it clean as the wildlife deserve a safe environment as it is their home.

Easy for me to go for work through the park, and also lovely nature. That keep your mind bery calm

I visited the place with my friends and we loved the park it is awesome to visit with your friends, family and older people as well.👍

Huge place and really really nice. A lit of greenery and plenty where to walk. If you are lucky enough you might see some deer ☺️

Great place for the kids to run around, logs to climb and jump. Also has a gated area, coffee hut and ice cream van right by the gate

Kingstonian icecream, the best I've tasted in the UK!!!

Huge park with different aspects to it Lake and deers too. Toilets near gate. Nice for a picnic or day out

Great walks and Isabella garden was pretty in spring. Only issue is parking at this entrance can get quite full quickly. Worth a visit especially if you like outdoor spaces.

Great park to visit, whether to just stroll and lose yourself or if you going for exercise. Good variety of open spaces, wooded areas, paths and tracks. Appeared to have good disability access. Well maintained, free of rubbish and plenty of space. Really lovely location right by the busy town of Kingston.

Fine apart from the rubbish I found.

Pretty fancy gate. Wide enough for cars, bikes and humans to pass through. It is a shame they allow cars to pass through it though, because the park would be nicer without them

wonderful open space has a cafe and toilets views are amazing

Amazing resource for walking and cycling amongst nature

You can spend a day walking around the well marked out routes in Richmond Park. Many hidden beauty spots and plantations. The only negative are the cars driven by lazy people. Try walking or getting the train .
