    Wow. Favourite park that we've been to for a while. And we've been exploring lots in maidstone and surrounding areas... So many interesting features! Will definitely be making the trip again!

    Beautiful wooded park nestled between Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms. Reasonably larger wooded areas cut off the main area of the park for a more secluded walk, and the main area has a nice pond/nature reserve. It seemed especially popular with dog walkers as the park is mostly surrounded by housing. Small playground area for children and some pretty cool street art on some of the walls.

    This is truly a gem. It's a beautiful park that allows you to take a stroll on well maintained paths which are also wheelchair friendly. There is a lovely Cafe which I found has a really good variety of meals to choose from. Finally there is a well setup kids play area which has the most amazing kids activities which are even big enough for parents to climb and help their little ones. There are nice sand pits and lots of natural wood climbing structures.

    Great children's playground, a bridge that looks over railway tracks which any train obsessed child will love, and a decent-sized skatepark that I hope my boy uses when he's a bit older.

    Lovely park however ridiculous that there is no toilets. Appreciate it's due to vandalism however when you have a toddler you can't expect them to hold themselves so unless something is done about the toilet situation I unfortunately wouldn't go back since I live almost an hour away

    Just moved to the area and wanted to take my boy for a walk when he's used to countryside. Was so upset about the irresponsible dog owners in this park, letting their off lead dogs run up and growl and near enough attack my muzzled boy. Also got certain people laughing that their dogs could attack him cos he was muzzled. Please can someone stand up for decent dod owners around here

    Fantastic park for dog walking and for letting the kids have a really good play session. There are lots of paved paths great for strolling or bike riding, along with a very large sandy play area for very small children up to the 13 or 14 years old. A lovely cafe as well with picnic areas around the back. Make sure that you bring cash as it doesn't take debit or credit cards.

    Amazing green space. Fun playground, sports fields, ancient woodlands, stream and boardwalk, plus events run by the Friends group (FoGH). Check out this underrated gem

    Beautiful park with different play areas for all ages, including zip wire and basketball field. There are picnic tables and a coffee shop. No parking as its in the city centre but usually easy to find parking in the surrounding roads.

    Great park with playground in Tunbridge Wells! 💚 Nice little cafe ☕🥐 Toilets 🚻 Parking can be tricky as anywhere else in TW.

    My son had an absolute blast. Nice swings for children and places for the adults to sit or lie in the grass to enjoy the weather. Space for children to ride their bicycles/ scooters. No dogs allowed and unfortunately toilets not functioning anymore.

    Brilliant park for kids. Amazing playground, toilets, baby changing and cafe Absolutely brilliant. Take a picnic and enjoy the day. Small skatepark, loads of clear pathways for scooters/bikes etc. Lovely flat playing field for games. Only issue is it doesn’t have a car park.

    Lovely park with beautiful woodland walks. There is a graet cafe and a playground. The park was clean and felt safe.

    Nice place to take children from toddler to older age groups. If people could only tidy up after themselves it would be a 5 star ⭐.
