  • A beautiful park that we are lucky to have on our doorsteps. A huge space for walkers, cyclists, and dog walkers to all enjoy without crossing paths too often, lots of space for kids to play with 2 playgrounds and a sports field, and v. Reasonable kayak/canoe/SUP board/pedalo hire on the lake! Oh and lots of places to fish, if that's your vibe. Looking forward to the new cafe opening too! Lots of community events and activities in the summer months, and lots of wildlife and nature to enjoy including squirrels, woodpeckers, pheasants, herons, and terrapins.
  • Wow such a lovely park right in the heart of Maidstone. It has won awards it's that nice. Plus it's huge. Like 450 acres. Many paths to walk or bike on. Kid friendly with modern play parks. Plus an area for tree top climbing and crazy golf. There's a lovely large lake to feed the ducks and go on a boat in summer. Plenty of beauty spots to see. A big café that's currently being built, nearly finished ready for summer. Loads of room for picnics and family gatherings. Or a great place to walk the dog. Biking around here is great too. Overall amazing place to visit. Great if you live in Maidstone or visit sometime. Also there's a large sports leisure centre with plenty of activities and a great swimming poo tool. Plenty of parking. So Worthy a look...
