French Weir Park

Such a beautiful place and so many different areas for you to walk. There is a large area left for nature, a couple of children's play parks, a cafe and an outdoor covered picnic area with tables and chairs and being by the water it's a stunning place. There are so many different areas I haven't listed all of them as I did not have time to visit all of them. It's also a really good place to let your dogs off the lead as it's totally safe for them. I stumbled on this place quite by accident as I had an appointment not far from there and was early and I had brought my daughter and our two dogs with us, we parked up then walked around the corner and were gobsmacked at what we saw. I definitely reccomend this place whether it's with your kids, dogs or you just want some nice to go, you can either take a picnic or eat in the cafe where there is outdoor seating too and there are plenty of places to sit and eat a picnic. Whoever designed this recreation ground thought of everything, my only negative thing that I have to say is that I do not live closer for me to go there regularly that's such a shame

Nice park with good playgrounds, nice cafe. Bridges, wildlife.... Lots of dog walkers.

Beautiful piece of green space in the town of Taunton. Weir and water sports centre with cafe available. Large children’s play area and plenty of space to picnic or play games. Noticed people fishing along the River Tone possibly permit required but I’m unsure of this. Tarmac path around the edge of the park making this accessible for all. No parking by park so public parking necessary permit parking zones on side streets near park so be aware you could get parking ticket if you use those!
Full disability access throughout.

Pretty good, never tried the cafe but at least it's there. Large open space, grass is kept cut, little water fall thing is nice

Lovely place to walk your dog. Nice decent sized play park for children. It is always worth looking out for little egritts and kingfishers and cormorants.

Great space for the family. Play park for all ages, table tennis, bring your own bats, great cafe with outside seating. The weir is beautiful and there's opportunity for wild swimming in the river, paddle boarding and kayaking. there's huge expense if grass for ball games, or just go to feed the ducks and swans! Longrun meadow is at the side of the park, brilliant for jogging and dog walking! I foraged all the greenery for my Xmas wreath, plenty about just be mindful not to take too much or don't take it if its in a garden🤣

Lovely children's park and Riverside walk. Wonderful bridge over the Weir and very friendly all day cafe. Have had tea and cake as well as lunch sandwich there. So nice that it's dogfriendly too.

A lovely place for a stroll with my 9 year old. Good playground for both young and older children. Wildlife phenomenal..... we spotted a little egret on the water.
