"My favourite park to visit. Can go see animals, play in the water park. The normal play area is brilliant. All free of charge.. can do extra things like go on pedal boats, have a ride on the land train and the splash boat built in 1929 and recently been refurbished is definitely worth a ride"
"Such a lovely park! I can't believe how tame the squirrels are! My son managed to get one on his hand. The lake area is beautiful and the amount of wetland birds is just wonderful."
"Loved the paint a bat box activity at the animal centre for Halloween... Great idea. And some lovely bat facts, bat activities and beautifully decorated boxes to add to the experience. The information signage for the animals has been improved from previous visits and is clear, informative and easy to gain information from. Loved the large bird aviary. Some areas could've been improved. Then back in the main park, the kids enjoyed the playground and the geese and are ready to come back when they can!"
"This was the first visit back to the park since Covid and was happily surprised at some of the new things there. The kids loved the play area, seeing the animals, (though there wasn't as many as usual) and the land train ride. With lots of space for a nice walk, or for kids to burn off their excess energy, it's a must for all ages to visit for a lovely day out."
"Lovely place last time I was in East Park was 1968, the splash is still in operation needless to say got soaked again at 61. Small fun fair rides great play parks and Swan boat rides zoo, after you've finished all the above get yourself a peaceful walk through the park."
