    Bede Park is a great place to relax and enjoy the calm and green atmosphere. Located near De Montfort University, it provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you're a student at the university or just looking for a park to spend time in, Bede Park is definitely worth a visit. One of the standout features of Bede Park is its well-maintained lawns and gardens, which are beautifully landscaped and provide a great place to relax on a sunny day. There are also plenty of trees and bushes, providing plenty of shade and helping to create a serene atmosphere. The park also has a number of amenities that make it a great place to spend time. There are benches and picnic tables, providing a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a snack or meal. In addition, there are several footpaths and walking trails, making it a great place to go for a walk or a run. Another great feature of Bede Park is its close proximity to De Montfort University. This makes it a convenient place for students to study, relax, or simply enjoy some fresh air. Overall, Bede Park is a fantastic park that is well worth visiting if you're in the area. With its beautiful scenery, well-maintained grounds, and convenient location, it's a great place to escape the stress of city life and enjoy some peace and tranquility.

    Nice outdoor gym and grill area. Children play area is good and there is plenty of room to play on nicely trimmed grass.

    Small park but neatly maintained. 3 or 4 slides of various sizes available for different age groups. Beware. Might get slippery when wet. Better be with kids when they climb to avoid getting hurt.

    The grass is thin and dry and there is so much littering; but it's the one and only park in the area, so better this than none.

    Probably best to visit in the spring or summer so the kids and dogs can run around. There is an outside gym and BBQ area, and close to a couple of shops.

    Riverside festival today...wow what a fantastic turn out. All for free. What's not to love. Bands,puppetry, stalls,educational stalls,activities. Then the street food....so much to choose from. The sunshine certainly brought people out in there thousands. Oh and I nearly forgot, narrow boats,and lots of fun messing about on the river.

    New walk museum had always been a great place to visit. The Egyptian section is a must as is the dinosaur n animal section.. They always have exhibitions on too, the latest being punk era UK.

    Missing the big bar. Tesco X2 can suck one. Clean enough. Ain't heard a meow but the signs are appreciated like the sausage on my inner child's head. Cheers for the gym.

    Great place for calisthenics work out but always crowded with people having drinks and smoking all around the place

  • 4/5 Bilal M. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice park but small not that big, recommended for relaxing but not long stay as the trees are covering only the outer area of the park, no trees at the middle area of the park … no shadow so it is not really suitable for spend nice time in summer

  • 5/5 Arty A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice area

  • 4/5 Umair N. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved the experience at bede park where I done a workout at the calisthenics workout area. However, the park wasn't very clean.

  • 5/5 Richard R. 10 months ago on Google
    Riverside festival perfect opportunity to go and unwind even when it isn't there.

  • 5/5 Sujay P. 1 year ago on Google
    There were loads of stalls at the fair. I got to explore a lot and snap a few nature shots. I managed to buy some gifts and a small amount of food. The stall owners I met were very friendly and I loved being at this event. I would highly recommend.

    Located very near to town, even closer to DeMontfort university and in even closer proximity to the Grand Union Canal, this little park sits at the intersection of various paths. It is a convenient place to stop for a break and a drink in fine weather. It doesn't offer much protection from the elements, but there are several pubs and eateries in close walking distance. There's a small but quite well equipped children's playground that appears to be well populated in the summer time, when there are often groups (usually friendly ones) of locals and students playing sports, listening to music, having a party, or a combination thereof. Had some very fun times here. Nothing spectacular but of sentimental value, hence four stars, as well as simply being a nice place to sit. Highly recommended.

    full of crack heads, they are funny sometimes, they talk a lot of nonsense to the point where you start to think of some good memories. but be careful, they can be little more crazy

  • 4/5 Rowena B. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent park that gets very busy with many people of all ages. Great for bbqs and listening to music as many people take speakers 🔊.. If you want to chill with friends and have great vybes its the park to go... a few close shops near by which are easy accessible.

  • 4/5 PURNIMA G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for evening walk and quiet. Very peaceful and nearby riverside

  • 3/5 Sakhawat Jameel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to go and relax but not at night as some black Africans do their singing unethically or listening loud music and hooting on general public as well as students of DMU though sometimes police do teach them lesson, another issue is of security, one of friend witnessed a robbery again by some drunk black guys and called police and police suggested to give belongings as they can't get there in time and victim may get harmed. Good Suggestion, Welcome to UK!

    The kids play area is good, location aswell-ish as it clashes with many different types of people and ages. There is also an important problem for me which is, that in a sunny warm day you will be with your kids at the play area and at only few meters you will have loads of young and no so young adults drinking and smoking ilegall stuff. You can't miss it really, as the smell freely wonders around the whole place. Also, youngsters don't mind their language or the way they behave when there are kids around. So it is great if you go there when there are no adults on the green grass area.

    Took my daughters there when they were younger, now taking my granddaughter to enjoy the slides...😉

  • 4/5 Grace S. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Macayla S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great playground area for children, nice big slide for the bigger kids to enjoy. The outdoor gym equipment is great, also marked running track around the small park is a good touch for those who are keeping track of distances.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 3 years ago on Google
    I went jogging around bede park for 30 mins which i enjoyed. The park was quiet with a few people which made it easy to jog around the park. Considering the gyms are closed also the gym on the park was closed as well, that didn't put me off doing what i in joy..

  • 5/5 Edgars K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice big slide and wooden attraction castle. It's higher than two story building, but made very safe for small kids as well. I used to take the little one in my lap when we went down the big slide pipe as she was scared to doit alone. Swings, 'telephone' and other attractions for younger children as well. Low fence separates two play zones for young children and for teenagers. Also a big grass field good for any ball games, capoueira etc.

  • 2/5 Jay C. 3 years ago on Google

    Decent local recreation area, separate picnic/barbecue area which is fairly recent and quite nicely designed with separate bin for disposable barbecues. Exercise equipment and parkour frame which were installed at the same time as the picnic area.

  • 5/5 Tracy T. 3 years ago on Google
