A lovely park, good for a relaxed stroll. There is a boating lake, childrens play areas, a miniature train to ride and the sights of the historic pavilion and bandstand to take in. There is a kiosk open for coffee and ice creams at the weekend and there are many other nearby café options open all week.

Buxton Pavilion Gardens is a Victorian landscaped public park, which is a Grade II* listed public park of Special Historic Interest. The 9.5-hectare (23-acre) site of the Pavilion Gardens lies in the valley of the River Wye. Two tributaries of the river run through the park along landscaped courses. The northern branch spills over cascades and under footbridges whilst the southern branch connects three man-made lakes, the last of which has a fountain. A great bit of outdoor space, toilets available in the park but locked in the evening, dog friendly, but loads of birds so if your dog loves chasing definitely not recommended, you can tell the locals feed the ducks and geese, as soon as you go near the ponds, the ducks and geese are all around you, if you don't like birds don't go near the ponds, even my dog didn't know what to do, never seen so many.

Great park in the middle of Buxton. Plenty of explore and dog friendly!!

What a great park. A really nice place for a pleasant walk. Dog and child friendly. Two sections for younger and older children to play. A section of water that has pedalos in the summer months. Train rides around the park run in the summer and some weekends in spring. Open areas to play and plenty of paths that twist through the park. The park is situated next to the Pavilion Gardens and the Buxton Opera House. A stream meanders through the park with plenty of Geese, Ducks and pigeons to feed if you wish.

Lovely place to visit for a walk picnic and general activities. Lovely on a summers evening or during the day for ice cream.

Fabulous park with loads to do! A must visit when near Buxton, the gardens themselves are beautiful and very picturesque . The Pavilion cafe has delicious food options including gourmet pizzas. Coffees are pretty good as are the pastries. The miniature locomotive in the park costs £2 per person (under 2s go free) and you can pay on card at the friendly operator in the "station". Its worth other for the 5 minutes ride you get for sure. The activity parks for the kids are well equipped with swings, slides, zip line and loads to climb on. Topped off with a go on the giant inflatable slide (£2.50 for 10 minutes) the kids are certain to have run their energy off after visiting here! Around the boating lake there are ice creams to have before going on the pedal or row boats. £10 for 30 minutes I believe. Doesn't sound like bad value although we didn't go on as we have a 4 month baby with us.

Buxton Park is very nice, lots of pathways, good for pushchairs, wheelchairs, bikes etc. Gardens and lake looked great, plenty of space for everyone. Really nice close to the town and easy to walk to.

Fantastic park , when the sums out brilliant, listing to the brass band really good...

Beautiful park with river, lake, ducks, kids play area, and toilet. Can go for a walk, have a picnic enjoy the place. Loved it and definitely recommend!!!

The park is located close to the town centre. It is surrounded by many great restaurants and just a few minutes walk to the magnificent Buxton Bath. You are recommended to have lunch in the park before hiking in the Peak.

Great park, loads for the kids to do, playgrounds are really nice and well maintained. The little train is fun and not too expensive, I think it costs £2 each to ride. The duck pond is lovely and pedalo hire is great. The cafes are brill and toilet facilities are always close by. Parking no problem even on a weekend as long as you don't mind a short walk. Loved the pavilion and the greenhouse and plants.

Pavilion Gardens is the biggest decent park in Buxton for a lovely stroll there's a fee cafes around to if you wanna stop off for drink and a snack car park close by also on street parked at a small cost also some areas are free so always read the signs if there's any enjoy buxton

Absolutely lovely park for all the family. We stopped at the play park with our boys and there was plenty to keep them busy. Other facilities include the miniature train, pavilion, gardens, leisure centre. Toilets at the car park were clean and tidy

We visit the park most days and enjoy walking around the boating lake, past the fountain and back via the promenade and the bandstand. Lovely to see the magnolias in bloom as the daffodils finish and snowy carpets of daisies starting to appear.

One the best parks around. Very nice and clean. Highly recommend to families with young kids.

Beautiful place with small pond and boats around. Nice place to walk and for family time. I will surely recommend

We all had a lovely day & steady walk round, can't believe I've never been before.

Beautiful area, very clean, staff very helpful. Ice-cream is lovely. Park area well kept and tidy. Great day out for all.

Absolutely gorgeous place I found accidentally when I was finding shortcuts to the nearby train station. Thankfully, my train was delayed so I stayed and wandered around!

Lovely gardens and pavilion to wander through with some quirky little sellers with a variety of items. Paintings or Drawings can usually be found there. Also on a Sunday morning the model boat club sail a variety of model boats. A little train runs atound the park giving rides as well. Something for everyone.

Great place to take children as there are 2 parks for both yonger and older kids. There is also a small train ride at a cost of £2. You can hire rowing boats.

A lovely park with a lake, stream, miniature railway, toddler and children's park, cafe, restaurant, theme park rides.

Relaxing walk round the park....well kept and very peaceful 👌

Nice park, clean and tidy.

Never been here before but made it a stop to meet a group of the family on way back home from a other location. Buxton is a very busy place in a positive way as shops will be doing great, people friendly and interacting and children playing and adults on park. There is peddle boats, £10 gor 30minutes which we went on and was great Very worth a visit Not maddive park but good as a stop with kids grab a coffee in there as well

Splendid Victorian park with lovely walking paths and overlooked by the pavilion.. an ideal place to enjoy a cup of tea and a snack. This week, the park is host to all things Jurassic complete with dinosaurs of all sizes and few dinosaur eggs.

Beautiful park. Lake and river with Bandstand and Pavillion. There Is also a light railway. Dog friendly and Is a fantastic place for a picnic.

It was very beautiful and well maintained with all the flowers. I really enjoyed seeing the geese, they were lovely. We also rode the train around the park which was really fun.

Good to have great weather to enjoy the many attractions here. Kids enjoyed the playground for hours. We had a picnic by the lovely flower beds. Enough toilets, lots of catering outlets and a brass band to watch with our ice cream. We stayed all day
