Newton Farm Ecology Park

Nice for a walk but might be too wild for some people.

This is the closest park to my house but avoid it. Play area is small and not enough for the kids. No path all the way around the park so impossible with a buggy of kids on scooters. Generally always rubbish there dont think its maintained well atall

The wildflower garden if you can find it was disappointingly small and I mean small. Nice for a walk on a nice sunny day. The pond was so overgrown if I hadn't been told about it I wouldn't have realised it was there.

Very muddy, water logged. Its such a shame all that money wasted,designing this so call ecology park. It is just awful now,dog fouling all over the place,Disgusting, (dog and owner)
It was much better when I was young, a tennis court, a lovely brook with clear water and fishes.
I only put one star, only because I have to in order to allow my msg to be accepted by this system😩

Small wildlife park, with pleasant walking route in sight of the River Roxborne.

It's like a beautiful jungle surrounded by the nature with animals lakes.

The councils excuse for non maintenance! Let’s call it an ecology park! No council maintenance. Reliant on Volunteers at all the Trees are left to overgrow adjoining communal gardens!🤬
The council cleared the pond and then replanted with reads several years ago! Now severely out of control. It’s an absolute disgrace! People use it to collect their drugs at pre arranged times and locations! And now a year later no better. The trees are left with low overhanging branches to adjacent gardens allowing birds to fowl over communal washing lines. When requested to cut back for 12 years the council total ignores requests citing that the trees are not dangerous to the public or some other pitiful excuse.

Lovely green space to explore, nice change up from the busy urban surrounds
