Abington Park in Northampton is well known in the area as being one of the best outdoor spaces to relax; play football or enjoy the play area with the children, walk the dog, meander around the aviary or to just sit on a bench eating an ice cream. There is also a suitably positioned museum and cafe in the centre of the park with a pond to feed the ducks within close proximity to the roadside. A must see in any weather, but on a beautiful and sunny spring day, like today, it was an absolute sight for sore eyes. I am now well and truly in my zen!

It’s big enough for a lovely long walk or run. The small gym area needs to have some work but other than that, it’s great! Lovely big pond area, church and a bird sanctuary. I piped up for the sunrise on Christmas morning and it was beautiful!!

And lots of people walk around the park. I have relatives that live not far from this beautiful park. Β· via Google [zbusurprise](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109186510134465489478/reviews) β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… My favourite place to be. Such a beautiful park, I love coming here to cruise on my bike, play activities (although I recently mashed my ligaments playing tennis πŸ˜…), and to simply hang out, plus there's loads of different species of trees! Family friendly place, there's usually a brass band on Sunday in the bandstand, spots to skateboard, the museum is okay too, not fussed by the cafe though, the charge a bomb and the owner is a little big headed πŸ˜‰ Β· via Google [See all reviews on Google β†’](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4877093135b04e9d:0x25e58012a26350f5!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this park features well-maintained gardens, paths, and playgrounds with plenty of equipment, as well as lakes with ducks and swans.
