    Great park clean and tidy . Gets very busy of a weekend and lots of cars . People come with gazebos and chairs and have big get togethers. Lots to do for kids too . £4.50 for parking . The only thing they could do with is more rangers to monitor and enforce rules as there were 2 lots of people having disposable BBQs on the floor scorching grass. No respect for the park or rules . Overall it's a friendly fun day out and plenty of activities to do such as fishing bike riding . Playgrounds . Each the boats feed the ducks .

    Great place for a family day out, sailing jet skis, play areas, there's a few nice walks different trails, bouncy castles and ducks to feed 😊😃 So much space for parking and not overly priced if your spending the day there. Ice cream vans and also a snack cafe and information centre with train 🚆🚆

    Great place to fish and walk. Off season parking £3. Very reasonable with plenty of parking areas. Unfortunately the miniature train wasn't running. Seems very popular with the locals.

    Lots of wildlife to see. Bit muddy when we went but it was late September. The dog loved the walk around the lakes. A beautiful Autumnal day. Had coffee and bacon butties from the cafe before we left for home.

    Excellent place to visit for both young and old. Beautiful walks around the lakes and through the woodland. A trip on the railway is certainly recommended. There is some lovely food available at the cafe with hot and cold food on offer and a variety of drinks and ice creams. Understandably there are some minor restrictions still in place due to the pandemic but this didn’t effect our time at the park as a family!

    I would highly recommend the miniature train ride. Only £3 per person, approximately 10 minutes and great fun. In total contrast the cafe can't cope on a busy day. At least 30 minute wait and then not worth waiting for. We gave up and came home. Take your own food and plan a whole day (picnic etc). There's a play park and rides for children.

    Very nice and pleasant Open Park. Full fun things to do for Kids. The miniature railway was fantastic (£2.50 return ticket). The ride is about 7min one way. The park has a large car Park (£4.50 for the day).

    Acres of water and woodland with water sports including sailing, jet ski, model boating, fishing and wildlife. There is an extensive miniature railway with stations. A cafe near the information centre seems to be open all year. Toilets available and outdoor play areas including an adventure type complex. Fitness and bicycle trails and good coverage of the park with you are here maps. Trails are waymarked throughout the park. Kingsbury Village is accessible via a footbridge over the River Tame and the Kingsbury Village Cafe serves a great value all day breakfast and has a menu with alternative choices.

    Fantastic place for a great day out with family or friends. It has lake, pond with wildlife. Open park to kick ball about, children's playground with sand and slides and best of all splash park. Transport links are perfect, good cycling route, bus routes and a car park with reasonable parking charges which are £4.50 for all day. You can hire bicycle for £7 per hours. Beautiful cafe for tuck in and toilet facilities are also available. Good to learn about different type of birds and their sounds.

    Great place to walk around and bring your dog. You can also rent bicycles and sit-down tricycles and go around the park with those. Not sure if you was to rent them or join a sailing club but there were laser sailing dingys on the water as well, although when we went there was next to no wind so they were just bobbing about. There were also jetskis which looked pretty cool. Definitely need to go back and explore some more.

    Great place for a walk around the lakes and woodland. Pay and display parking. Bikes available to hire at certain times and a great miniature railway runs around the park at certain times too.

  • 5/5 Rafael A. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an incredible experience to visit the Kingsbury Water Park in the Autumn. The colours are incredible and the trails are very clean. It is remarkable how people take care of this place (really preserved nature). One of the cleanest and best preserved places I've visited in the West Midlands. I will definitely visit again

    Fabulous place to take the family! Not only are there absolutely loads of different lakes and ponds offering things from watching Jetskis and watersports, fishing, boating and even remote control boats, but there is a miniature railway too! £2.50 return or £1.50 single. We did the single and stopped off at the woodland adventure park....as that's at the end of the railway it was quiet with lots of open space around it to picnic and let the dog off. At the main carpark there is a cafe/ice cream shop, toilets and another playground. The walk back from the end of the railway was lovely and you can make it as short or long as possible as you can walk around all the different lakes if you want too. Good value for money.

    Great place for all, great for walking. For walking your dog's. For fishing and jet ski it's great watching them in the water. Beautiful views. It's a Very big place their is also the park as well which is fantastic for the kids the paths are all connected. Great terrain for biking and running. And the fish shop is also down the road so you can grab something to eat on the way home.

    Great place for a day out, and it's definitely busier over the weekend. £4.95 all-day parking, however, as we've been there only half day gave away our ticket on the way out. Picking tables, areas to hide in the shadow, and camp-van spaces. The toilets are not very clear nor the changing babies unit. The mini railway was an excellent experience (especially for the little one) -£2.5/ ticket (under 2 goes free). Overall recommended 👌

    Lovely area for all water sports and nature enthusiasts. We went to the jetski club. Members can show their pass and park on the overflow. Other vehicles need to pay for parking. Staff are super friendly and there is a little cafe there that serves awesome chips =D

  • 5/5 Phil H. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely idyllic park. Difficult to fault. There are endless walks round the numerous lakes, down canal paths, parks etc. The facilities at the campsite are first class. Very clean and well maintained. Staff are really helpful and friendly. This was my first time camping so off to a great start. I'll be back there without a doubt. Loved it!

  • 4/5 James E. 10 months ago on Google
    A nice place for a family day out. Plenty of room on the fields to set up our own area to have a picnic, plenty of playground equipment and an enjoyable train ride. Parking was a reasonable £5 and train ride was £2.50 each. Just make sure you bring bug repellent in the summer as we came away with quite a few mosquito bites!

    Loved it! Hired bikes for £7 an hour. Had ice-cream and went for a long walk. The park has all the facilities you need. Lovely coffee shop, clean toilets and a fun park for the kids. Would so recommend. £4.50 is the parking fee for the whole day. Time to go again for a picnic.

    A beautiful place and quite next to the M42. When you are here, do not miss the steam railway. Its something for all ages. The miniature train takes you through the park. There is ample trails to try out. The bike hire has good options too. There is a sail club and a jet ski centre.

    Fabulous place. Vistas of open water. Broad pathways for walking, cycling, pushing the pram. Great kids park which my 10 year old loved. Didn't try the cafe but looked good, plenty of people using it and visitors centre looks good

    Had a lovely walk around Kingsbury Water Park, first time visiting. It was clean, no rubbish anywhere, most people that passed said hello which I found lovely, plenty of dog walkers - majority of the dogs on leads and those that weren't on lead were very close to their owners. Beautiful and scenic, with some beautiful wildlife on the lake. Came across the bike hire shop which also sells used bikes at a heavily discounted price. There is a children's park area and a train (not open at time of visiting) I didn't visit it but did see people with hot drinks. I can imagine it's busy here in the height of the season, plenty of open space and picnic areas. There is plenty of parking spaces with a set fee of £3.40 - out of season fee.

    Always a lovely walk - been going for 35 years!Plenty to see on the water from tufted ducks to Egyptian geese as well as the usual suspects...Canada geese, mallards, cormorants, coots and the grebes! Car parking is plentiful and remains value for money.

  • 5/5 David D. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent Day out. Lovely walk around the lakes and surroundings, followed by an ice cream or a cuppa 😁

  • 5/5 Sharon W. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Love this park somewhere to blow away the cobwebs. Lots of areas to discover. You can hire bikes and there is a couple of different children's playground and a cafe.

  • 5/5 Ryan 6 months ago on Google
    A great place to visit, especially if you are visiting the NEC as it is within easy driving distance. The site itself was better than I was expecting, very peaceful, quiet during the stay and the staff very helpful, offering a variety of pitches. During our visit it was very wet, so a hardstanding pitch was essential, close to the water points and the facilities. There’s a bit of road noise from the M42 but nothing that would cause any trouble. We had an enjoyable stay and will certainly return.

  • 4/5 Rachael B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice weather today, lovely walk, disappointed the railway was only open to members and checked the website yesterday but it didn't say. But there was a bouncy castle, an ice cream van and the speed boats and jet skis were all out.

  • 5/5 Edward D. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely campsite with adjoining water park. Site staff very friendly and site really clean and tidy! Cycle hire at the lakes really affordable and such fun to cycle round all day

  • 5/5 Mandy S. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to go any time of the year. Went today not overly busy kids love it such a wonderful thing to see the young duckling there was a few today

  • 4/5 Keisha B. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely time at Kingsbury despite the rain. We took the train (a half journey) and walked back. Love the greenery and wandering around the woody part of the park. The train workers appear to be very very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Would definitely ride the train again.

  • 5/5 Rodel C. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place for walking, particularly if you have a dog. Other activities on offer along with mini train and playground for kids. Good for picnics. Reasonable price parking and easy to get to by vehicle.

  • 4/5 Lesley S. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place nature and fishing.We stayed at the nearby campsite.Shame about the constant motorway traffic noise.

  • 5/5 Jacqui C. 2 years ago on Google
    A great visit, the first time on the train and we loved it!! If you get off at the half way point there is a good park that was quieter than the main park ☺️

  • 5/5 tony t. 1 year ago on Google
