Frances Wong

Decent size park with plenty of space to walk about. Lots of different trails: along the river, up in the green grass area and a secret garden for some quiet time and a bowling green. Good for kids bikes as well. Toilet clean and good to have a cafe and ice cream van nearby 😋 Not too many swans but lots of ducks and water looks quite clean

If fantastic little place that has a park for the kids a coffee for the family and incredible walks. Not far away from the town centre either and the park has a Croquet pitch which is fantastic. The parking is cheap and very safe, it is patrolled by wardens Who seem pretty decent. I’d put the wrong reg number down and instead of giving me a fine the guy gave me the nod to re-buy. Nice guy…
