Friars Park

Really nice park, great for responsible dog walking. Also there is a fishing lake. Its a really good place too feed the ducks, they seem to be more hungry there than any other park in the borough. :-)

Great place to feed the ducks. Kids love it. Only down side is in the summer the back path nearly gets covered with stinging nettles from both sides and can hardly get though

Lovely park, amazing ducks there is loads!!!
Got to watch quite a few ducklings grow up this year which was lovely! They really should update the play area for the children add some swings and a round about. There is an adult work out "thing" that does not work it's no good for anyone!

Lovely place to bring dog or children, fishing pretty good too

Grass not cut on the hill and various other places.
Lakes getting smaller and are overgrown.
Footpaths blocked by overgrown bushes.

Bins often full and overflowing.
Shame on the council, letting our local park get like this

I went to revisit the lakes to see how they were after the drought , most of the fish were dead or dying the other week ,the water is up slightly but need a hell of a lot more rain to recover,if only the council would go in and clear out a lot of the reeds that are filling up the lakes now and make it look a lot better ,looks so untidy nothing has been cut back in years ,come on southend council do something about our lakes in southend and shoebury.

Only a small park but ok for a stroll around. Has a pond with loads of ducks & peahens. VERY sparce playground & more
Suited for older children. Nothing else here but I enjoyed a leisureley stoll.

Great park with lots of wildlife, nice for taking the kids to feed the large duck population, some play equipment, and an area for playing football.
