Reviews
"Nice to have a walk and to see the fort and lake, lots of people wandering around. Could do with a sign on the road as we drove past it."
"Really amazing place to be all staff warm and welcoming and lots of wild life"
"Great for paddle boarding, friendly staff, took the paddle board from the parking lot to the beach for me which was great. Dog friendly. Nice, relaxed and clean. Sure it will get even better when more development is done to it."
"What a palava! For our first visit.. no one on gate so was chased over the carpark after being seen by the person meant to be on the gate...(?) Stopped and then told where to park, further than I planned.. there were near by spaces. Paid to get in; £2 per person for a walk.. dogs are free. Ticket was described as a 'permit' and told to keep it handy if asked to show it (2 middle aged women and 2 dogs). Time in the Park is 'time limited' 3hrs. On our walking route we got asked for 'dog permit' by a guy in a car paroling the walk route, who then wanted to have a friendly chat... he meant the adult entrance permit. We both thought that this was unnessary. Also having paid for a time limited visit, chatting to a member of the Park team for 'their role' was not on my visiting agenda, as friendly as they meant to be, gave me mixed feelings about being at the park.. scrutinised, untrusted, policed. One person, friendly enough, kept an eye open and stopped us and directed us to an unsigned makeshift bridge leading to the lake and explained that there was a bridge to cross a wide stream hidden by the trees. I really support the idea of a community run Park with all of the amazing facilties here but felt like I was not meant to be there and unwelcome. I'm sure there's a better way to manage a resource with so much potential where visitors can go and actually 'relax' in a lovely natural environment.. perhaps needs some more development and potentially apply for environmental grants to improve the nature reserve and its groundwork management? Cafe and toilets on site in the carpark - not at the lake where people spend most of their time visiting. Can easily miss turning. I'm sure more signage will be invested in as the project develops. In summary; great central place, amazing out door water resources, keen workers/volunteers. Needs visitor and signage developing."
