Reviews of Waterhead Park
"Great park for dog walking, there's also a cool slide and a concrete skate ramp"
"Always take the dog out here. Fantastic and very clean"
"Really nice park, not really much for younger children/toddlers though as the slide is too big amongst other things. Sport facilities and plenty of green space, great for an afternoon walk. Highly recommend visiting the Veg In The Park community garden too."
"Nice park with plenty to do. Nice play area for younger children with plenty of space to walk dogs and to be alone if needed. Allotment space and a other sporting spaces also available."
"Definitely make this park a place to visit! It has something for everyone and all ages. There is a playing field for rugby and football, a skate park with a half pipe and ramps. The gardens and paths are maintained beautifully but the absolute highlight is the community hub that they have at Waterhead Park. There is a well stocked cafe with friendly staff who are eager to make you comfortable and well fed and watered. But the jewel in the crown in the "veg in the park" gardening experience where all are welcome and encouraged to lend a hand, they have raised beds, flowers and trees, vegetables and herbs and an enormous poly tunnel where potting and seeding can take place, rain or shine. Again, the volunteers and staff do their upmost to make you welcome and a keen to share their knowledge and experience with you. All in all, a wonderful park to visit. 100% recommend it to all."
