A brilliant park for children. Miniature railways (every Sunday - weather dependent), a maze, a massive play area including a sand pit. A duck pond. And the new pathways make it even better for prams :)

We enjoyed nearly two hours at the park walking the dog and having a coffee. The grounds are well maintained but recent rainfall has made it very muddy in parts. There are a number of picnic tables located in the park and benches. The formal gardens near the cafe are worth visiting to see the Cedar of Lebanon tree planted in 1887 for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. The borders are full of plants and provide a nice backdrop for the lawns. The ‘new’ Worden Hall (Derby Wing, community room & Folly Cafe) have been a great addition to the Park Car Parking is free for up to 2 hours BUT you need to obtain a ticket from the machine and display it on your windscreen. The walled garden was underwhelming, looking in need of a large amount of maintenance, they had plants for sale some of which were past their best! It has recently been subject of vandalism, but that apart there is a lot of work to be done to bring up to a high standard! There is plenty to see and do for all ages, probably more at the weekend when the miniature railway may be operating, but it will be much busier.

A great day out with lots to do and explore. A vast area so be prepared for some walking and tired little legs. The play area has lots for kids of all ages and lots of field space to play games and run around. The Hall has recently been renovated and that alongside the formal gardens are lovely. A forest area can also be explored with some lovely features. There’s also a maze, mini-golf, food kiosk and an ice cream van Good toilet facilities but make sure you take 20p’s to use them (no issue paying as need up-keeping and an asset to the park). Large tesco is about 19 minutes away but easy to nip to for ice lollies and lunch.
