Lovely park, completely free of litter. Great place to spend a couple of hours, or more. Large ponds, ducks, coots, squirrels, specimen trees, well planted borders. Mostly hard paths, suitable for wheelchairs, no steep hills. Some beautiful wood carvings. Dog & picnic friendly, Downsides: No obvious toilets, playgrounds or refreshments, car park was closed at the time of my visit on a Saturday afternoon in late October. Despite these minor annoyances, certainly worth a visit.

Its nice lovely park ok the way towards Windsor. It has a briged and small lake type area which is really nice and you will see Ducks swimming inside. Nice view in the afternoon when Sun is there in the Sky... Overall a great place to walk and talk.

There are two distinctly different sections to this park. The North Side is the original park dating back to Victorian times and is beautifully designed and looked after with attactive flower borders/beds together with winding paths, a small lake and some important trees. This part of the park covers 7.8 acres. The South Side of the park, added in 1982 is a complete contrast. A further 11.3 acres it has been left as a wild natural nature reserve. The area extends right the way down to the motorway. There is a small car park just off the Datchet Road which can take about 8 to 10 cars. Note that this car park is open from 8.00am to 8.00pm or dusk whichever is sooner. If your car is locked in, it won't be accessible until 8.00am the following day.
