Howard Park

Great place for kids of all ages, especially if you're on a budget and want some outdoor fun. There's the splash park which keeps kiddies running about for ages and a park play area to challenge all ages, sand, toilets and a cafe which sells snacks, ice cream and drinks. If driving there is a pay and display car park right next to the park. Howard Park is next to the town, so you can walk within minutes to buy lunch or take a picnic. There's a grass area to kick a ball about or sunbathe. There's also bench seating and picnic tables.

Awesome day at the park with the kids...It has a wide range of activities in the play area and the splash park is an absolute hit with the kids.

It also has ample parking and seating space for everyone to relax, lay down their mats and enjoy a picnic.

There restrooms are not too bad and are adequate.

Recently given a bit of a makeover with some new equipment this is a lovely open park with toilets, ice cream and coffee kiosk, water splash fountain. Great for scooters and bikes from autumn to spring and splashing in the summer when the fountains are on. Very popular spot.

Such a gem of a place for families especially while it's hot! Park under trees so keeps cooler and the splash park is large enough to spread out and around it to have a picnic and keep watch. A little coffee shop and toilets are there too and not far from shops. Good parking close and its free on Sundays.

Safe, fun and free! Lots for all ages to do plus a kiosk selling ice creams and tea/coffee. Toilets and changing facilities plus onsite parking (takes change only, up to £10 should cover it for the day) large grassy area beside the water splash area so take picnic/blankets/chairs.

The toilets are never the best, but there's food and drink available to keep you full, plenty of places to park your picnic blanket and soak up the weather. Splash park is perfect to keep your little ones entertained too!

We got to the park fairly late afternoon on our first visit, so it wasn't quite looking its best. Also, the whole splash pool is not open yet so a lot of people were bundled down the play area end. All emptied out S it got later...! Small car park located nearby, and not far at all from town centre.

Playground area is fairly bog standard, can't really go wrong. Has large field and a good amount of trees around the edges, all of which are expected of parks lmao. The main attraction is the water fountain areas which are active during late spring and throughout summer, gives off an almost swimming pool type vibe and obvs a great way to cool off during those heatwaves.
