Nice spot for a short walk on a sunny day. Shame the kiosk wasn't open for a hot drink, but looks like they just open at weekends during winter months. There are watersports on offer here but we were just there for a quick walk.

What a fabulous find.. a lovely lake with a gentle walk around it.. with benches along the park so easy to take a stroll, park and enjoy the scenes. Great end to the walk was the Italian restaurant Terranova.. fabulous pizza's.

Lovely park with lots of space, love the hills to keep fit, lake with pedal boats and a small paddling area, improved mini playground in the kiddies little waterpark near the jungle gym and a bit of play in-between them. Toilets and changing rooms smelled horrible every visit, no soap but not too scruffy. Ice cream bar service a bit slow and not as badly priced as most vans are recently. Car park is vast but very expensive, though it must help pay for maintenance and growth of the place, those lines of bins in-between carpark and park are always horribly stinky, wish park management would improve cleanliness/smells more often, a simple wash 1x/2× daily.

Entrance is a bit of a confusion. Enter on the Northside for the walks and splash park. Very good size splash park for free. Can hire out pedal boats too. Toilets and cafes around. Good day out for the kids.

Lovely park. Lots of parking spaces on a nice warm day. Lovely water park/play area for children. Snack stand with drinks and ice cream and 5 or 6 picnic tables. Nice bridge to walk over the river to the lake where there are pedalos and a lovely big walk around the lake. In an hour we had got less than half way taking a leisurely stroll and sitting on the park benches watching the wildlife. Great time here for all ages and the dogs loved the walk. Would definitely go here again and pay for longer on the parking ticket to walk the whole lake

Always love this park. Wonderful sunset views. If you like the hot weather it is an ideal place to go in summer months.

Nice Park with kids facilities. Kids love the water splash area, but it is clowded even thought we were there on weekday. All good, but the changing room is smelly and need parking fees.

Stanborough Park is a delightful escape nestled in the heart of nature, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting that is ideal for a day out. The park's two lakes provide a scenic backdrop and are perfect for leisurely walks or more energetic activities like rowing and fishing. The well-maintained paths and green spaces are a joy for walkers and joggers alike, and there's plenty of room for children to play and explore.

One of the highlights of Stanborough Park is its accessibility and family-friendly atmosphere. The park offers ample parking, and the facilities, including clean restrooms and picnic areas, are well-kept. For families, the playground is a hit with the kids, and there's enough space for everyone to enjoy without feeling overcrowded.

While the park is generally well-maintained, some areas could benefit from a little extra attention, particularly during the busier months. Additionally, while the café provides a nice spot to relax and refuel, the selection and quality of food and drinks could be improved.

Overall, Stanborough Park earns a solid four stars for its beautiful setting, range of activities, and commitment to providing a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. It's a great spot for those looking to spend a day in the outdoors without straying too far from the conveniences of the city.
