    It is really a nice place for people hangout with their animals. People in there are very friendly and nice too!

    Home of the Old Guildfordians. Beautiful rugby pitches in Surrey with the perfect blend between grass and mud. The bar in the clubhouse serves excellent beer. Nothing much had changed since my last visit in 1995.

    Stoke Park is located around 12 minutes away from Guildford High Street by walk. It is a 52 acre open park with trees on a corner, children’s park on another side with a paddling pool and model boat pond, skate boarding rink on yet another side. The Stoke park itself is open always, the children’s park may have some time slots though. The space and openness of park provides a sense of feel good and freedom. People with dogs often bring them to the park for a walk and some play. In summer it’s also a good place to have picnics and generally absorb the sunlight.

    Such a nice place to walk as the sun goes down. Plenty of space on the grass and benches. I notice the children's pool has metal barriers around it must times I see it (I wonder why it's out of use so much.) The huge student accommodation has added a great 6-floor block of brick in one corner. But it brings live of a different kind.

    We had an amazing fireworks night organised by The Star in Godalming. There were food trucks, live music (a great Mumford and sons tribute band) The park was really big and great size for an event like this. Can’t really comment on the park as it was dark other than that.

    Nice playground! As in my video the ending car park is free on weekend. Please check the signage. The kids areas are nice too

    There is always so much to see and do in Stoke Park. First and foremost it is the home of Guildford parkrun in which I participate regularly. There are wonderful gardens, beautiful views of Guildford and fun things for the children to enjoy. Its a peaceful haven in a beautiful town.

    Stoke Park recreation area is a great place to spend a day with family or friends. There is something for everyone, from a playground for kids to a skate park for teens to a boating pond for adults. The park is also home to a number of walking trails, making it a great place to get some exercise. Overall, Stoke Park recreation area is a well-maintained and enjoyable place to spend a day. I highly recommend it!

    Went to watch the ice hockey. Stayed in a local hotel and wheeled myself to the venue. Good access. The Guildford fans were welcoming and friendly. That said, the accessible toilets were not on the same floor as the accessible viewing spaces. Had to wait for a busy lift to change floors and return back to my spot. That was a bit a real pain.

    Had a lovely time at this park. Enclosed playgrounds so I could just sit and let the kids play. Multiple playgrounds with different equipment. Plenty of grass and picnic tables. Toilets near the playground and free car parking!

    I use it as a cut through to get from the spectrum to work as the park and ride has stopped. If the weather's nice it's a lovely walk

    And excellent day at an event that had on show the future printing champions if tomorrow. πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€Έ All the clubs involved were well represented despite the weather, the show went on. πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Parking was good and the officials communicated well and kept all parents engaged and involved in their children's activities. A good quality track with good access all round. In the end, we were ALL Singing in the rain 🌧

    Ran Park Run....as a wheelchair user with an of road manual chair it was great as the ground was so dry but wouldn't recommend after rain as the loop is 50% on the grass. Alot of tarmac tracks to use for wheelchair users/bikes/trikes etc! Beautiful gardens&great playgrounds... Accessible parking & opposite at The Spectrum.

    Really nice park! Great for a stroll, picnic, walking your dog and exercise (to name a few). It's a must visit with friends or family this summer.

    A great and large park to visit. The Japanese garden is really nice and scenic and everything seems well maintained. Can be a bit muddy but a great spot to walk around

  • 4/5 Adrian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice playground for children aged 2+ (best between 3 and 10 in my opinion), a boating lake where boaters often meet and sail their model boats. Also ideal for RC speedboats, just be careful of the wildlife living there, such as ducks and geese, and keep an eye out for newts hiding in the decaying leaves there, too. Nice little cafe on site serving hot and cold snacks and drinks with fair prices.

    It's very green. As I drove past I noticed that the grass was green. Amazing. I didn't go there, I just drove past, at 40mph yet somehow this site thinks I went there. Duh! I would have given it 5 stars, but the cheerleaders and full brass band were nowhere to be seen.

    Very nice park area where you can go for a walk. There is a small coffee shop where you can buy soft drinks, coffee and something to eat and sit around for a relaxing. Close to the park there is a proper playground for kids.

  • 5/5 Mandy P. 6 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful place to walk my little dog. It is so big that he can be off lead and nowhere near anyone else. And he made a couple of friends.

  • 5/5 Gemma B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Autumn walk. Love it more so in summer, great for kids with the splash pool and park but I love the rose garden and comes with a cafe and toilets. Has everything a family needs.

  • 5/5 F R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place. Lots of family fun. Recommended all day long πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

  • 5/5 George B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, lovely place, beverages available as is hot (fast) food. Best of all: benches in the shade and a kiddies pool.

  • 5/5 Kevin Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice open clean space. Children's play area away from the dog and a sport friendly side. Toilets on site that are ok.. the men's was pretty typical for a park toilet. Handy there is one.

    Absolutely amazing park! Why can't all parks be like this?! Went on a Sunday when it was 30C and it was so nice to have the ability to be in the water with my son. Not just a small water fountain like most other parks. Also free parking in the Student car park on weekends was a bonus. The play ground is right next to the splash pool, and there is even ice cream and a nice walk to do around the rockery area by the splash pool. Overall a fantastic day out!

    A wonderful park for all social occasions, walks, dates and picnics! Filled with glorious greenery and nature, it's a park I am most fond of. Host of many events throughout the year.

  • 5/5 Alex L. 2 years ago on Google
    I was really impressed with the grass. Very green and just what you want out of a lawn. Furthermore the trees really added a special something to the scenery. My only complaint was the occasional cloud obscuring the sun but you can't have everything in life. In summary I would rate this park a solid five stars mostly as a direct result of that beautiful field. Every blade of grass was top quality not a single plastic fake blade in site. I think the groundspeople have done a cracking job of making it a very apt location for chilling. They should give themselves a pat on the back!

  • 5/5 Emma G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to get away from it all , without needing to travel miles into the middle of nowhere. Few car parks to choose from, so many things to do but can also just go free, with picnic, let kids in the paddling pool etc with a walk after. Can do as much or as little as you wish. Can be there an hour or all day! Very well kept grounds and a credit to the area. Was looking especially for the sensory garden for my sister who has mental health problems, but couldn't locate it. Will be back again though to hunt around as I believe it's nice.

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    It has so many hidden treasures to find: a stone circle, a rose garden, an island and beyond those there is masses of green space, so often used as playing fields but in July on a summer evening it's for picnics and drama. We joined The Guildford Shakespeare Company and enjoyed their amazing performance of The Tempest that took us scene by scene around the park.
