Eastrop Park

A great park for a family day out with beautiful flower arrangement, ponds with boats, caffee and shallow pond for toddler to play. you can also play remote control boat on the west pond.

Not local to the area so wasn't sure where to fo when visiting basingstoke. we were pleasantly suprise at the facilities in the park. although we didn't use it there's a lovely paddling pool for the little ones and a boating lake. the lake was a but grubby but the kids had fun on the pedalos. there were plently of picnic beaches available. it was lovely day spent and parking charges weren't to bad either. we had a walk into town which wasn't to far and got some lunch to eat in the park. if visiting the area i would recommend a visit

Lovely park area with splash pool, little lake with pedalling boats to hire from the boat house. really nice playground with variety of equipment. there's a few benches with tables and plenty of grass area to sit and have a picnic. many bins around so it's easy to throw your rubbish before you leave. nice footpath and cycle lane too. you can buy icecream, drinks and other refreshments at the park, next to the little lake. although, there's sings for toilet facilities available, unfortunately they were locked and not open to the public on the day of visit. if you are going with car, there's convenient pay and display parking on the side. otherwise, it's about 10 minutes walk from the town centre and festival place parking. overall, great place for a sunny day out if you bring all you need.

We visited the eastrop park last weekend and in general it was a nice experience. pros: - boat/pedalo rides - nice play park - good ice cream shop with lovely and quick service cons: - absolutely disgusting toilets:( the one in the boat building was shut and the other public ones were just terrible. i hope council will do something about them soon... - small car park

Love going there for my daily walk. nice and clean. would love to see more activities or things to do and can not wait for the summer to enjoy the coffee shop by the water and use the paddle boats. there is also a fitness track and a small water area where kids can play in hot weather (with picnic tables). you can also find a playground for the children.
