Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful Park

Oct 2023 • Solo

Simmonds Park is simply beautiful. A lovely spot to wander slowly with friends, solo, take a jog or walk the dog. Follow the stream and switch off for a few minutes during the day. It's also a great cut through to the Train station and the Granite way.

Delightful

Feb 2023

A beautiful town park with a lovely play area and river running through. So amazing as can continue up to Ball Wood and return along Tramlines or set forth from Fatherford onwards up the East Okement and out on to Dartmoor proper. A real gem

Simmons park

Oct 2022 • Couples

A real gem. A stunning town park with fantastic play area. East Ockment river flows through. Then head on up through Ball Hill to Fatherford and the worlds your oyster. Continue upstream for wild swimming pools and Dartmoor beauty towards Belstone or the military camp. Or follow Tramlines back towards Okehampton station and the Castle. There can’t be many town parks that keep on giving like this one ❤️

Beautiful park in Okehampton

Aug 2022

We are fortunate to live in Okehampton and so visit Simmons Park frequently. It's a lovely place to relax and watch the world go by; it's beautifully kept by the groundsmen, has vast areas of grass where children and dogs can play and there is a good selection of equipment in the play area at the far end of the park which is fenced off so children can play safely watched by their adults. If you are adventurous there are numerous walks from the park. It is very pretty and has the river Okement running through. There is also access to a Bowls Club and Leisure Centre from the park. Come and visit, you will enjoy.

Beautiful riverside park for a lovely walk

Oct 2021 • Friends

Visited Simmons Park to complete a Geocaching Adventure Lab as it was not far from the cottage we were staying at. We are a group of 6 friends from 18 to 50+
The park is very pretty with the river running alongside. Some interesting historical memorials etc and some beautiful cottages too. We particularly enjoyed the water garden and unleashing our inner child in the play park - they had a large maypole style swing which was suitable for adults. It was lovely seeing lots of different age groups and dog walkers etc all enjoying the autumn sunshine. Also pleased to note that no dog mess left on the ground in this park so obviously very considerate dog owners.
A very enjoyable morning.
