3 Best Parks in Maidstone, UK

Always a lovely walk around the lock. Small play park for children. Lots of picnic benches. One of the boats were going through the lock and let our Grandchildren help closing them. Nice little coffee hut which serves tea, coffee, cold drinks, crisps and biscuits. No sandwiches etc. Toilets which unfortunately were out of order for a few weeks but are due to be fixed by next Tuesday apparently. Off for another walk this morning. Very dog friendly and lots of picnic areas.

Love Teston country park. Amazing views, cheap parking. Massive field for the kids or dogs to run around. If you fancy a walk along the water then it's great for that too. Yes there is a park for the kids. Also at the entrance of the car park you can get hot an cold drinks from the coffee shop. Clean toilets available.

Beautiful place for a walk along the river or through quiet fields. There is a playground and a small café. Parking was £2 for a weekday, but £2.40 using the Ringo app. I think it's £1 more at weekends.

This is a great park to have a stroll around in or take your children to, so that they can enjoy the cycling paths, Tree Top boardwalk, the adventure play area(s) and skate/BMX ramps and half pipes. There are lots of open spaces which are ideal for a picnic or just relaxing. The only downsides are that parking is not very good as you have to park near the Gallagher Football Stadium and walk a bit, although it is along the river so it's not too bad. Also, the toilets are quite a distance from the play areas, but they've put up some port-a-loos halfway between the two locations. I'm not sure if they are permanent additions or not. However, it's a lovely park with a lot of different stuff to hopefully keep everyone happy.

It was a lovely place to walk round. Children have a choice of a more grown up adventure playground and younger ones have a pirates cove thing but it wasn't open when we were walking around. There is a stage where they evidently hold events, it was being washed down when we were there. There's a lovely walkway through the trees made of wood and also a skate board area. At the far end near the gym there are some fairly decent public toilets. Very peaceful by the river.

Beautiful place. We went to watch an outdoor cinema Well organized. The public toilets were something else though! No lights no toilet roll no doors on some so only 1 in use which had used sanitary products all over the floor.
