    Very Beautiful big park. Beautiful lake and play ground for children are the main attractions of this park. Very good place for relaxation. I went there with my friends and spent hours there. wide area for parking though we have to pay. Good place for young children to play . Can buy foods from there. Clean public toilet is also there. I do recommend this park.

    Beautiful, shady walks around the lake. Fishing allowed with permit at the lake but not at Magazine pool. Large open fields for sports, picnics and dog exercise. Play area with water fun for young children. Kiosk for snacks and ice creams. Very clean and well maintained park(help to keep it that way by using the litter bins located around the park!). Recommended

    A very popular woodland park in Newton Abbot situated to the south west of the town. Parking was adequate at 80p for two hours, £1.60 for four hours, payable by cash or contactless at the machine. There are public toilets, a kiosk selling hot pasties, snacks, drinks and icecreams etc. There is a huge lake with wildfowl in residence and a footpath that encircles it which has climbing frames and wooden obstacles to keep the kids entertained. There is a large children's playground with soft flooring and sports fields. I would say 2 hours is plenty for a visit with the kids.

    Decoy has a childrens play park, a large area for sports and a great walk around a small man made lake. There are toilets, a snack shop and a car park that is fairly priced. The play park has a few swings, two zip wires and an area for smaller kids to play. There is also a huge castle climbing frame which my kids love and a water zone which is very popular in the summer. All surrounded by a metal fence so it's safe to let the rascals run around. We always walk around the lake and take in the beautiful scenery, this takes about 30 minutes and you will usually see swans, squirrels and plenty of seagulls. There is a big field to play football or other sports there too. Definitely worth a visit or two.

    This really was a majestic find for us! My wife and I enjoyed the scenery and autumnal foliage as well as the critters bounding about! The park offers some tremendous views of nature, very welcoming trails, and plenty of practical space for games and playgrounds for all ages. Most arresting to us were the swans that graced the lake. They and the ducks were very reasonably friendly and great for adding more tranquil ambience to the park. Pleasant people and gorgeous nature, we were right at home! Highly recommended!

    Awesome Country park, very reasonable parking charges, lovely cafe, great facilities for the whole family, great walks and a lovely shallow river running across the top for toddlers or dogs to play in. We also used the Kayaks, but there is paddleboarding there too. Lovely play park for all ages up to 14 or so.

    Amazing park for the family. Generous size kids playground with all sorts of equipment for different ages. Lovely water splash area. Little kiosk for ice cream. Accessible toilets right next to the playground. Space to feed the ducks and swans. Will be visiting again.

    I love going to decoy park with the kids they all have a good run around and burn off all the energy that they have. The woods are also lovely for a walk with the family and also the dog maybe not go great if it's been raining.

    A great place for the family.... Fun, Food & Facilities - only £1 to park all day Sunday. So please don't go there, I don't want it to be too crowded. 😉
