Really nice park, big enough to have a nice walk, but not too big at the same time, making it suitable for all audiences. The park has three lakes too with plenty of ducks, swans and other birds swimming around giving a nice countryside vibe even though it is inside the town. There is also a cafe and a very interesting museum to visit nearby. I would recommend visiting it.

We love Abington Park, in any weather it's such a nice place to go. There is so much to say about it... There are two main green spaces/ parks, both with full site maps at the main entrance points if you need to orientate yourself in the first few visits. I did recently notice a new sign for the park run they've set up. The sign was located between the big pond and the football pitch on the path running juxtaposed to the play area path. The running route they've set up is for beginners through to experienced and there are new post markers installed around route around the football pitch and mini forest shown on the sign post for distance/route reminders, etc.nnWe tend to walk our dog all over and meet with friends, letting the children explore the winding paths & through the trees. I've never seen so many squirrels in my life in one place, so that's always cute.nnThe big pond is great for wildlife and seeing different birds, we have seen Herons in the smaller pond too. The birds ducks/geese/swans/Moorhens/seagulls/pigeons, etc have all been fed too often, so they are really greedy and will approach if you stand still.nThe boating lake next to the big pond is great if you have remote control boats. In the summer, it also has ride on mini boats and pedalos you have to pay to use. There tends to be a fair in summer near the play area. And you will often see people gather here for parties with tents/pop up gazebos etc, dotted everywhere, so it's really family friendly, and most people you see will talk or smile. You will feel the community spirit for sure if you want to.nThe play area is great for the kids. They've recently fixed some items roundabout/landrover, etc and built a new climbing frame for Littler Littles. Theres something for all ages here! In the warmer months there are usually 2 ice cream trucks parked near the traffic lights near the play area if in need of a yummy treat.nnCrossing over the traffic lights past the play area and ear the church, youll find the museum/band stand/cafe/toilets/bird walk. The cafe is great if you need a hot / cold drink or little ones fancy some ice cream in any weather - indoor & outdoor seating is available and they also have a nice lunch selection too. It's a little pricey for a quick bite, but it shouldn't put you off if you're not expecting to eat or drink there. The cafe also sells balls/Frisbees/bubbles, etc, so if you're going for a spontaneous visit, it's very handy.nNear the cafe is the bird walk, which I think is open through the week, I know it's usually open until around 3 pm on Saturdays but not Sundays, I find.nThe museum is one place I keep meaning to explore but don't get around to doing, but that looks good. They often have events throughout the year advertised at the traffic light crossing between the two green spaces.nThere is sometimes a band playing on the band stand but mostly it's empty and the kids can go check it out.nOver all its well maintained dog friendly park with lots to do, something for everyone... you'll often see the ground people maintaining it, driving around doing what they do best.
Such a lovely green space!nSo much greenery and space to do whatever you'd likenLovely walk optionsnNice ponds around with wildlifenThe museum is also quite interestingnnThe highlight though was the aviary! Such a hidden gem, there's peacocks and so many cool birds aroundnnWill be returning to this place
