Bradbourne Lakes

"The lakes are being renovated and are coming along nicely. Good place to see"

"Such a great tranquil little park with 5 lakes. Lots of benches scattered around. There are some picnic tables there too! Lots of birds in the lakes kids will enjoy watching. On street parking just outside of the park."

"Lovely place to feed ducks and geese, has benches to allow you to let the day pass and listen to the wildlife and the water rushing down the stream. Not sure how parking is as we come from one side and it only had enough for 3 cars , hence the 4star but their could be better parking round the other sides. Ducks seem in fabulous condition, but ponds need cleaning as there was a smelly film on top of the still parts."

"Bradbourne Lakes is a little haven tucked away in the middle of the estate. It’s a landscaped green space with great water features. Ellington Park provides tranquillity for those seeking it for a short stop or walk. It's a great local resource but the restricted parking and lack of toilets or refreshments, means it's probably not a destination that you would travel to. There is only room for 3-4 cars to park in the layby. Each side of the road, which runs through the middle of the park has a 1hr timeslot when you cant park so if you are happy parking on road then you would be able to find somewhere to park at any time of the day. Paths are hard surfaced but narrow. Not too narrow for wheelchairs or buggies though, but not wide enough to pass each other without forcing someone onto the grass."

"Very pretty park and a nice place to spend having lunch or a gentle walk. Not very large you will walk around the whole lake in at most 30 minutes There are a lot of ducks (at least when I visited in early June) and squirrels. Take some appropriate food such as seeds, grapes or corn to feed them and it is very nice"
