Stanborough Park

Great day out.Managed to take a pedalo out for the little man's first boat adventure!I felt that there needs to be more bins to help visitors stop littering, but all in all had a lovely day

What a lovely park. Visited midweek whilst the kids were at school, so there was plenty of available parking. The toilets were really clean. Walked around the boating lake, which was both peaceful and relaxing. Stopped off at the cafe for a bite to eat and a coffee. It was reasonably priced and quite tasty. There are lots for the kids to do. Home schoolers were paddle boarding during our visit, which looked great fun. Passed a water park as well. A few toddlers braved the nippy weather today. Overall, this is a beautifully kept park with many activities and one that I will certainly be visiting again.

A nice place for a walk around the lakes. Cafe was closed and so was the restaurant, 5pm in the season? The standing water could have been cleaner, but the streams seemed clean.

Parking is not free, even as a full member of Better gyms so that was rather annoying to pay £6 just for parking. We walked around the lakes, were put off the boating because that was expensive, the high ropes thing was also extortionately expensive. And then to top it all off we walked into the half empty Italian restaurant only to be told we would have to wait half an hour for a table to become free??? It was literally half empty!! We left, drove into town, and had a great meal in a Turkish restaurant instead.

Stanborough Park is a delightful escape nestled in the heart of nature, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting that is ideal for a day out. The park's two lakes provide a scenic backdrop and are perfect for leisurely walks or more energetic activities like rowing and fishing. The well-maintained paths and green spaces are a joy for walkers and joggers alike, and there's plenty of room for children to play and explore.One of the highlights of Stanborough Park is its accessibility and family-friendly atmosphere. The park offers ample parking, and the facilities, including clean restrooms and picnic areas, are well-kept. For families, the playground is a hit with the kids, and there's enough space for everyone to enjoy without feeling overcrowded.While the park is generally well-maintained, some areas could benefit from a little extra attention, particularly during the busier months. Additionally, while the café provides a nice spot to relax and refuel, the selection and quality of food and drinks could be improved.Overall, Stanborough Park earns a solid four stars for its beautiful setting, range of activities, and commitment to providing a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. It's a great spot for those looking to spend a day in the outdoors without straying too far from the conveniences of the city.

Lovely park. Lots of parking spaces on a nice warm day. Lovely water park/play area for children. Snack stand with drinks and ice cream and 5 or 6 picnic tables. Nice bridge to walk over the river to the lake where there are pedalos and a lovely big walk around the lake. In an hour we had got less than half way taking a leisurely stroll and sitting on the park benches watching the wildlife. Great time here for all ages and the dogs loved the walk. Would definitely go here again and pay for longer on the parking ticket to walk the whole lake

Beautiful lake for watersports. Lots of geese and ducks. Benches to sit and watch. Carpark. Pizza place but not open when we were there on a Monday evening

Very nice place,Only managed to explore part of the park.You can buy duck feed for £1.40 and you do get a decent amount, if you throw the feed off the bridge at the car park, the fishes rush to get them.But be careful of the geese they have no issues eating out of your hand or following you.Had one swan go after my leg and hiss at me as i did not give it enough.Best time to go in the morning before anyone has any chance to feed any of the wildlife.Pedal boats are nice but can be tiring, make sure you have the energy and some good legs.There is also a nice player area for the younger kids, my nephew did not want to leave the play area.
