    A lovely park with lots going on. The kids love the play area there. Public toilets on site too.

    Lovely, compact park with all that's needed for a restful (or energetic) time. Large grassed open areas, trees, child's play area, tennis, basketball courts, table tennis, five-a-side. Planted borders, bandstand. Also, well maintained, with little evidence of vandalism. A little gem!

    Beautiful park and amazing playground, you can still play crazy golf there too. I love the activity gym equipment that's placed around the edge of the park.

    A nice park which is access friendly to both non and disabled persons. Located in Church Gresley near Swadlincote on Common Road. Well kept pathways, gardens, tennis courts, basket court, football pitch, and children play area. Car parking located on main roads surrounding the park.

  • 5/5 Matt Selley (. 6 months ago on Google
    A lovely, well maintained park ideal for walking the dog or just a leisurely stroll. There are nice gardens, a children's playground, a bowling green as well as enclosed tennis, table tennis and basketball courts that I believe are free to use. There are public toilets at the pavilion which is usually staffed.

    It's a beautiful park. The wardens are always there keeping on top of it. There's a wide variety of plants and shrubs to look at, exercise equipment and a fantastic play park.

    Lovely Park, really cool events that go on here... Shame about the aggressiveness of the youth that collect here at night... Herbaceous Gardens are really beautiful and most important of all: the Parkkeeper from 2023 is really sexy!
