Wonderful scenic lake, great walk around off roads, ideal for dogs, and the added bonus of finishing your walk at The Hope & Anchor for a meal or a drink. Poignant memories of John Merricks, and a lovely living 'memorial' to him. He would be honoured and proud no doubt. Would love to put a photo of John here, but the only one I have has copyright. Anyone has one available let me know... If you 'like' this review please give me a tick √ Thank you...

Lovely place to interact with nature.

I live very very close I love to walk here with my wife and 2 kids since people can go and be around each other the rubbish has now turned it into looking like a tip

Beautiful small lake with a path all the way around. Easily accessible on the edge of Loughborough town by a reasonable walk or bus from the centre. Good spot for casual Birdwatching, with notables including kingfishers, little egrets, and mandarin in the winter. The path also connects to a bridge over the Great Central Railway, providing a good spot for photography.

Very nice place to walk around.

A quiet lake with adorable ducks. There is a trail around the lake with some benches that you can sit and watch the lake and the ducks. It is very serene.

Lovely place to walk around and take in the nature, lovely on a sunny day.

Very nice trail around the lake.

Beautiful lake, great for birds spotters, walkers, runners, etc. Shame the public loos seem permanently closed though.

Great space north of Leicester.

Decent walk

Beautiful walk. Pity the toilets weren't open

Small area but lovely place to walk with dogs.

Love it . Very nice for an hours walk

Great place lovely walks

Nice and peaceful place for walk.

Lovely place but designated flood plain so heads up

Brilliant tranquil place of beauty. This end of watermeade isn't as busy as some other parts of the park.

Has litter, could do with a bit more cleaning, but once you find a good place to sit. It is quite peaceful. Bring a good book and you will be here for hours

Nice place to relax

Nice place to walk around full of ducks on water but there is no cafe and no cafe near by. no children's Park area. Just toilets close early with no toilet paper. please bring your own toilet rolls.not much to do by walk run take the dog for a walk/run. But there needs to be rubbish bins about no bins and there are seating by the water nice place to visit.relaxing and piece full worth a visit in shelthorpe village .loughborough town two miles away. Shops near by for food but no cafe.

Lovely short walk, just outside Loughborough.

Groups of lads hanging around in the car park and some looked like they were dealing drugs. Small bags of something white were passed to people who walked up handed money over and then walked away. They did this as if it was normal. Mostly large groups of Asian men and probably around the mid 20s to 30s age group. Very intimidating for a couple walking their pups. The walk was okay, although all but three d0gs were off the lead (two of those being ours). Few had any recall and at some point a pup will be seriously injured. One of our pups isn't dog safe and has a fear of larger dogs in her face. Our experience was awful and we wont be going again until the council make changes.

Lovely for a short walk

Beautiful

There's a nice shirt walk around the water that is suitable for wheelchairs. But the toilets were closed and there is nowhere for refreshments.
