Really enjoyed this Park and hope that it is appreciated by everyone who uses it as it is a lovely place which is very much a hidden gem of Basingstoke. Great mix of ancient trees, grassland, plants and play equipment for the kids. The aviary was really nice to see as well, just a nice place to be. Good to see the sports pitches being used for Sunday League Football as well.

Lovely big open space, surrounded by trees, with an aviary full of budgies and finches at one end and a children's play area at the other. Hosts many of Basingstoke's big events.

Lovely forest area south lots to explore. A well maintained playground and big open field as well as a large pond area with an abundance of wildlife. I highly recommend for a day out with the kids.

Excellent place to have a leisure walk and immerse in nature. Open meadows and scenic atmosphere to enjoy an afternoon stroll. Next time I want to go at evening time to appreciate the difference.
