Top 19 things to do and attractions in Stornoway

Really nice castle with the ground floor open for tours. Upper floors are private residences. Interesting museum on site with a history of the island and culture. Small gift shop and café with coffee and light snacks.

A lovely castle and grounds. The attached museum is a fantastic place. At the time of our visit six of the Lewis Chessmen were on display. The cafe is also lovely. We had lovely soup served by young, friendly people.

We walked to the Lews Castle from Stornoway and spent longer there than we had intended walking around the vast gardens. The Castle was setting up for a wedding so we had a quick look inside. It looked very nice with huge rooms. The grounds are extensive and really well maintained for their size. Highly recommend visiting.

Stayed here for two nights on Stornaway. A little separated from the rest of town it is connected by a short but lovely walk through the grounds. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. Breakfast is not included but there is a cafe on the ground floor open most days. Parking is plentiful. The castle itself is beautiful inside and out. It's lit up nicely at night making a good beacon to walk home from one of the many good restaurants nearby. It also doubles as an event, including weddings, and the rooms used are gorgeous.

Truly a wonderful experience. Service was outstanding, friendly staff always present as required. The location is excellent with a scenic woodland walk into town for dinner and centrally located on Lewis for hiking and exploring. The building itself and the rooms were beautifully done (we stayed in the sunlight room). A luxurious bath with some whiskey tasters we brought along was certainly a highlight. The attached museum is also very informative for anyone wanting to learn about the island’s history or emigration history from the region. The ladies there were incredibly knowledgeable and keen to help with any questions we had. Our thanks to all the staff and museum employees for a lovely stay!

A beautiful bit of architecture situated in a fascinatingly beautiful non-native area. There's a cafe inside, though I can't attest to its food. I was slightly dissapointed by the interior of the Castle itself (which this review is for) since its all converted over to a venue. Its still nice to look at though!

Went for park run and grounds are a fine walk. The castle itself is a hotel, cafe and function hire place. Not really a castle that you can tour round. It's free to go in to the cafe and shop so you can see a little bit of it.

The Thai Cafe uses the restaurant space in the evening between 1600 - 2200 on Tues - Sat. A great selection of menu options and such a great view over the harbour when you're having your meal. An Lanntair Arts Centre is a great facility to have in Stornoway and is improved by having this dining option available. Book a table though!

Lol velt art gallery downstairs and a shop with a cafe and more artwork upstairs. Only thing is that the artwork upstairs is behind where people sit to eat and drink so you have to peer over them to see the art. Not ideal. No parking so find a roadside space or park at Tesco only a 3 minute walk. All free

Beautiful modern venue with large capacity and current streaming technology for large events. Very friendly staff at the café, Thai restaurant open in the evening.

Art gallery and creative space - certainly the largest such space in the Western Idles. Downstairs is an art gallery along with a gift and bookshop. There is a good cafe upstairs. There aren't any parking facilities but Stornoway does have a fair amount of parking spaces.

Another visit to The Thai Cafe now in An Lanntair. Food wonderful as usual with friendly prompt service. The new location adds to the experience. Will hopefully be back before going home. Recommended

A wonderful, creative, multi functional place. Gifts, crafts, food, music. Theatre and film

Lovely cafe! Staff are soo friendly! View of harbour. Very warm and sunny! The art shop gets so many cool stuffs. Bought quite a few items

I do really loved the place. So much to get to know about people themselves (Islanders). Eeach person = one story. If you have some time to spare, definitely worth going there. Btw no need to follow google maps route to the roundabout when walking, there is a direct shortcut with signs straight to the castle museum few meters before.

The Museum & Tasglann nan Eilean in Stornoway features background and history of the culture of the Outer Hebrides. It also features artefacts dating from prehistory to the present day, and a public archive. It is situated in the grounds of Lews Castle, in a building inspired by the former glasshouses. The museum introduces life in the Outer Hebrides from prehistory to the present including archaeological finds on loan from National Museum Scotland. The gift shop has a small range of individual replicas of the Lewis Chessman available for purchase.

Fairly small but very well presented museum with lots of multimedia exhibits telling the fascinating story of island life, the highlight being some of the famous Lewis chessmen. Entry is free and includes access to the downstairs rooms of the adjacent Lews Castle. There’s also a cafe. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. If you have time, the castle grounds make for a lovely walk - climb up to Gallows Hill for some nice views over the water to Stornoway town and port.

We went in Sunday when the museum is closed. The ground floor of the grand house was open and we had lunch there. I was told there were no more eggs but later discovered someone receiving scrambled eggs. Disappointing. Food was fine but not exciting. You order and it arrives at your table. Staff are young and enthusiastic. Coffee was ok but not great. But I guess it was good it was open on a Sunday.

Not a large museum but a "boutique" exhibition that shows a snapshot of life on Harris and Lewis. The individual rooms are well put together with both visual and audio information. The Lewis Chessmen were,of course,a highlight. The background information on their discovery was well presented. Guides are on hand for any questions.There is a small gift shop and admission is by donation,a suggested £5. There is also a cafe.

We had a lovely time at the museum and loved how immersive the experience was, especially the film at the beginning. It was also brilliant to see and hear so much Gaelic all around - chòrd sin rinn glan! Would absolutely recommend a visit, followed by some coffee and cake in the castle.

Great museum, staff super friendly and helpful. Entry by donation (paid £10 for a family of 4) worth the money, kids enjoyed it and had a few activities to do which helped keep them busy. Would recommend for a visit if you are in Stornoway.

Nice cafe with a variety of nice warm options as well as cakes and scones. Definitely recommend since it is directly nestled at the castle grounds and really nice to sit in.

Great stop for all those 'strupag' or scran moments when over in Stornoway and you find yourself meandering over to the Castle Grounds have lunch or a takeaway. You could always sit at a bench in Castle Grounds in the shadow of your old school at The Lews Castle. Reflect of living past moments when time was your own and you were 50 years younger 😉.

OK food & drinks when you finally get them, but with the most laughably chaotic ordering and serving system we've ever come across. Young staff were doing their best, but someone needs to take this place by the scruff of the neck and devise a clearer way of letting guests know which door to go in, which desk to queue at and where to wait the 15 minutes or so to get the hot drink and slice of cake they've ordered.

In the shadow of Lews Castle. Lovely walk around the headland followed by a wholesome, homemade lunch. They have: sandwiches, toasties, soup, jacket spuds... Plus cake. Family friendly but still pleasant atmosphere for those with friends.

We pop in every year when we visit and the food was good and reasonably priced. Good for lunch and coffee and cake.

I came here for a lunch before i went to the lews castle, Its a very interesting decor with ofcourse a lot of wood, Very delicious sandwich, You can eat inside or outside or to go. Close to the castle and the harbour from Stornoway,

Gorgeous facility with a beautiful view of the bay. Wide array of small plates and pastries and coffee drinks. Very accommodating staff!

Nice park to walk trough, A lot of nice birds and calming nature, A few little waterstreams

This is an absolutely stunning park where you can also find Gruffalo story and their wooden statues. There are so many wild rabbits that walk around you if you're not too noisy. You will love it.

Amazingly beautiful grounds, I did the parkrun here, by far and away the most scenic 5k I've ever done! I've never run a parkrun and taken photos before either. I'd love to see how the Stornoway festival in May is done here, maybe I'll be back in May for it?!

Beautiful grounds, had a peek into the castle, and a great coffee & gift shop, the museum was very interesting.

Stunning, expansive grounds to explore. Well worth a visit!

Lews castle grounds are beautiful gardens just across the small bridge from Stornoway, unique in that they’re the only proper gardens and trees in the islands due to large shiploads of dirt being brought across to overcome the peat. Well done to the locals for making clear the source of all this wealth and beauty came from slavery, and for now preserving these grounds as a wonderful public space.

Lews castle is great for exploring all year round, including a gruffallo trail

We had a quick look in this shop and were welcomed by a nice lady who informed us that we were now able to try on any item. Very impressed by the quality on display. Returned in a few days when we had more time and my wife tried on a lovely jacket. Unfortunately, the staff on duty at this time could not supply a mirror. As we were both intending to buy jackets to the value of over £200, I would argue that this is a definite prerequisite. A rethink needed! Also, the two female members of staff seemed to be concentrated on another task,and made us feel that we were of a secondary concern. Stunningly, beautiful array of items. Just a shame that the customer service aspect fell way short of expectations. We purchased elsewhere.

What can I say first time I’ve shopped in this store and the staff so helpful friendly I’m only on the island for a couple of weeks and first impressions one word fantastic

Such a pity, had exactly the tweed I was after cut in to 10 inch strips, but would not sell them to me as they were making them into scarves. Im sure they could have cut more. what kind of business turns away custom. Got what I wanted in a lovely shop in Harris.

visited this shop one year ago on an island hopping visit. the staff were extremely helpful as I was buying to make my husband a Harris tweed waistcoat. now having made four I am in need of more material and have just found them online. can't wait to choose and order next pattern

I love this shop, I buy most of the tweed for my small craft business there and could honestly spend hours on end just browsing and putting colours together, all the ladies who work there are just lovely, always there to help you out or just leave you looking if that is what you prefer.

The Harris Tweed Hebrides flagship retail store in Stornoway town centre is undoubtedly the most stylish shop on the island. We can personally testify that this is fact, as we scoured Lewis & Harris in a recent visit to the islands. The shop acts as a showcase for the world-renowned Harris Tweed and quality products which are made from the cloth. Harris Tweed Hebrides are a company at the forefront of the Scottish Textiles and Fashion revolution. In 2013 they scored a hatrick of accolades. In the UK Fashion & Textile Awards Ceremony they picked up both Textile Business of the Year and Manufacturer of the Year. More recently they were named Scotland's Fashion Ambassador of the Year at the Scottish Fashion Awards2013. If you are lucky enough to be heading to Lewis this shop should be the first and last place you visit!

I bought a sixpence online and it was shipped to Denmark. Very very satisfied.

I'll start by saying we absolutely loved stornoway, it's truly amazing. We booked this restaurant as our holiday was coming to an end. My wife was desperate to try the seafood and was keen as were our travelling partners. After much debate my wife's cousin had paid for the meal and we all proceeded to leave. As I was viewing the local properties in a nearby estate agency, I could see the waiter running towards me? I had assumed one of us had forgotten an item of clothing but to my surprise he had questioned if we'd paid the bill? I was taken aback and replied of course, I even paid the tip to the manager. So I decided to go back in with him. I could see that there was some miscommunication and gave me a fairly vague excuse as to why the waiter didn't know what was happening. It was such a disappointment end to our holiday. The meal for 6 people wasn't cheap, and to think we would have skipped out on the meal was utterly ridiculous. The food was average and quite frankly overpriced considering the quality served. Not much more to say. This is my first negative review, but quite justifiable.

This classy restaurant is located in Cromwell Street opposite Lews Palace. The food, service, staff, ambiance are all excellent. The lobster was, “absolutely yummy 🤤,” and was demolished leaving very little behind. The duck was superb and the passion fruit curd cheesecake was heavenly. Staff were absolutely lovely. Couldn’t compliment this restaurant highly enough. Fabulous. Definitely recommend this place. 👍👍👍

Decided to make a reservation the night before since I knew this was a popular spot. Otherwise, we would have eaten at the more casual cafe but I was glad we chose the main restaurant. We were staying in the hotel and it was very convenient. The front desk checked if we needed a reservation when we arrived. This was my favorite meal of the trip. I decided to get the scallop black pudding appetizer with the langoustine main. The scallop app was phenomenal, and the garlic butter langoustine were excellent. The langoustine meat was delicate - tails were sliced open and I took awhile to crack open the claws to get most of the meat out. The elderflower cocktail was refreshing. I had been debating about having langoustine and scallop dishes for app or main. The waitress said the langoustine app has 3, main has 6. Scallop app and main both have 3 scallops, but main has fish also. Great service overall. The restaurant was full and the larger parties really take their time here. The light is dim and everything was served elegantly. My vegetarian friend really enjoyed her bruschetta nibble and eggplant pasta. I would have ordered the cherry bakewell tart, but they were doing a different dessert.

ㅎ 첫번째 한국인 후기 같네요. Visited there twice for a dinner. First day got a beef broth soup as an appetizer and got a ribeye for a main. Beef broth soup was amazing, didn't thought I could taste this delicious, spicy soup in Stornoway! Ribeye was also perfectly cooked, medium rare. Second day got a scallop for an appetizer, and got a fish of the day, which was haddock. Scallop seemed a little bit overcooked because of the smell, well, as far as it tasted great, it was fine. Haddock was also nice... But considering its both very pricy, I'd rather get a ribeye again next time. Overall, it should be considered sole 5 star dining in Stornoway. Taste is promised, but quite pricy. Everyone working there was a professional, working very fast and efficient, without being rude. Kudos to the chef and waiters for making my 2 evening in Stornoway stuffed with delicious meals!

We had a lovely dinner at the Boatshed. The food was tasty. My husband really enjoyed the salmon, and I had the langoustines. The service was good. We arrived early for our reservation, and they were able to take us early. A nice, enjoyable meal.

We had a lovely meal here for 2 adults and 3 kids age 12-15. The seafood was superb, really worth the money. There was enough diversity in the menu to satisfy everyone. My youngest had an enormous dish of pasta.

A splendid dinner. The seafood and fish pot, bouillabaisse style, was absolutely delicious, as it was the homemade pasta with aubergine. Great chef and great service :)

While walking through Stornoway we were looking for a cup of coffee and a chai latte. So we stopped by the Delights Café. We had a Cappuccino as well as a Chai latte. Both tasted great and the service was friendly as well as quick. They also had lots of local / scottish gifts and produce for you to buy

Excellent chaï latte, and the sweets are absolutely delicious. The shop is really cute, and they have a section of locals products, like biscuits, honey and other jars, art, soaps, etc! If you want the best hot chocolat in town, with marshmallows, you'll find it there! (It's only take away, there are no tables.)

Lovely shop with a variety of gifts, foods and everyday practical things. Staff friendly and helpful.

Good coffee, very friendly staff and good looking cakes.

Great White Hot chocolate and friendly staff! Many cakes to choose from! It's also not just a coffee shop, they sell many other various items.

A great treasure of the island, there is a wide range of coffees, tray bakes and some local island products. It is great to chat to the staff to get a impression of some of the Warm characteristics of the people of island.

Outstanding.There is absolutely nothing to fault in this delightful shop.Staff are so friendly. Baking is scrumptious.Great place to buy gifts.

Lovely cafe next to the harbour with outside and inside seating. Dog friendly, great coffee selection and cakes. Lovely gifts for sale too, worth a browse around the shop

Cute, comfortable coffee shop. You can find a good iced latter here. They don’t have savory breakfast items but plenty of baked goods. The scones with butter and jam were really good. Views of the harbor, indoor seating limited.

This charming cafe overlooks Broad Bay and Lews Castle parklands. The staff are lovely, decor clean and modern. The pistachio cake is superb and coffee excellent! There is a small area featuring arts and crafts for sale. Highly recommend this place. 👍👍👍

Great view. Wonderful coffee nd baked goods.

The staff were… quite frankly….rude! Whilst nice to us; I saw them be rude to other customers. Both to them direct - and then even worse - behind their back. And the whole place is filled with signs telling you what not to do! Crazy vibe

Lovely little cafe and staff- chai latte the best I've had! Peach cobbler cake divine. Shame didn't do savoury food which I'd seen on their IG. Gift shop lovely too. Will return.

What a lovely place, really was. Really well decorated inside, looks brilliant but, today, it's all about the weather and outside. Man, it was hot but the Blue Lodster has a great sitting area outside. Lovely, friendly staff served us, coffee and cake, all round and some treats for our dog 🐕 Lovely 👌

Beautiful, calm and serene. Its a lovely spot to just be quiet and think. Great photo opportunities from a few vantage points here.

A beautiful monument to those who gave their lives in 1914 - 1918 and beyond.

Beautiful monument for the fallen ones. Great view of city aswell. Very peaceful place.

Stunning memorial, with amazing views right over Stornoway

Amazing monument and can see what a massive impact the war had on the islands, a great tribute to the islanders who fought for our freedom

Beautiful sense of peace and quiet. Amazing view from hillside in Stornoway.

Good signs, well kept pathway, clean and respectful. 👍🏼

Happened along this little gem ! Absolutely loved my Brie and strawberry sandwich and coffee. This place has all the posh/yummy good food, cookies, snacks and take away. The lady who made my sandwich was extremely sweet and such patience. She asked me a few things and my ear couldn’t make out what she was saying. I just am not used to the accent. I even contacted for a gift card for a friend there. Excellent service and my friend sent me an email saying it’s her favorite shop! I guess I have great taste. I would totally recommend this place to shop for gourmet goods , coffee or a sandwich!

We stopped here for lunch and had the most delicious sandwiches! Lots of options for vegetarians too. Not to mention a gorgeous shop! Highly recommend!

A great place for salads and sandwiches to take away. My salad was amazing. Extremely good value with a wide variety of ingredients. The best salad I've had for a long time. I also bought some Isle of Mull Cheddar which was very good

Delicious food, but the service was so slow. We ordered a salad box and a sandwich to eat before getting the ferry to Ullapool. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. We just began to worry if we'd miss our ferry because of how long the staff took to make them. Plus, it doesn't take a lot to smile and look as though you appreciate your customers.

Everything closes earlier than we are used to in Stornoway, so we were lucky enough to shop here before they left for the day. They had such a great variety of jams, spreads, biscuits, crisps and candies for us to take home for friends and family. We all were able to find something we liked!

Nice sandwiches, cheese and better wines.

Lovely shop with range of price points. Staff knowledgeable and friendly when I returned to get more cheese! Had the time to chat to me about their produce. Really really great experience.

I have not been to the butcher yet, but they sent me black pudding in the post , best a have had yet

Had a small problem with a black pudding someone bought me called them up resolved very quickly sent me lovely black pudding and nice shopping bag free of charge great service and lovely produce thanks guy's 😊

Excellent butchers, really like their black pudding and own sausages, pork and beef. Worth the 100 mile round trip👌

Great selection of meat and other foods. Friendly and helpful staff.

Bought some square sausage in harris, best I've ever tasted 😋 keep up the good work and don't change the recipe

Great choice of meats and ready made! Friendly staff. Good prices.

If you visit the Isle of Lewis. This butcher is a must visit. Produce simply superb

EXCELLENT selection of books about Scotland and by Scottish writers! Bought 2 books, only wish I had more room in my bags.

Lovely little bookshop, good selection of books - would love even more children’s chapter books

Good selection and kind staff. Great for literary tourists as well since they have a lot of British and Scottish classics.

A really nice small bookshop. So many towns either have no bookshop or it's the inevitable Waterstones. The range of books is reasonable for a small shop.

Nice selection of books, magazines, greetings cards and other stationery. Also sells tourist gifts, postcards, etc. Helpful, friendly staff.

Well stocked bookshop with local guides, fiction and non fiction. Good selection of books of the area. Periodicals, newspapers and a good selection of stationery as well A good example of a local book shop

Great little newsagents and book shop (there is a whole section on the islands) plus touristy items to buy some of which are beautiful!

Nice trip! No whales or dolphins, but very relaxing with a lot of seals.

We went on the longer 4 hour trip and sitting on Rib seats can be quite uncomfortable. The seats are designed for 2 people and you will be quite intimate with the bouncing movement of the boat! Also, at the back you will get wet due to spray and waves. Gordy the skipper with us for the day, started well, but then seemed to loose interest during the trip in explaining the sights and pointing out the wild life. This was made worse for us (as we were at the back of the rib) with the noise of the engine, sea and spay, which muffled much of his commentary.

Excellent and interesting trip but four hours is a long time without a comfort break. The seats are extremely uncomfortable and you have to sit pillion with another passenger which is very close especially if one or both of you are on the larger side. We saw a dolphin not far from Stornoway, lots of seals somewhere near Lochs and thousands of puffins at the Shiants. The islands themselves were fascinating.

Gordy and Maxine run a wonderful business; highly professional and great equipment

Brilliant experience with Gordy (and Sonny the puppy!) on his boat last week. We opted for the 4 hour trip and were glad that we did as it gave us the time to have some amazing encounters with the local wildlife! Best of all was the pod of dolphins that were alongside the boat for at least 30 minutes, leaping and playing! Also very interesting to go out to the Shiant Isles as part of the trip. One bit of feedback was that when Gordy was explaining things about local history, wildlife etc, it was often difficult to hear what he was saying as he would talk out to sea, rather than face the passengers! Mindful that he is piloting a boat as well, but it would've been interesting to hear what he was saying while at sea when the boat was stationary.

These guys were brilliant. Gordy and Chris were professional, friendly and entertaining. More importantly they were as excited about seeing stuff as we were. We saw loads of dolphins, minke whales, puffins, sea eagles...made my daughter's birthday very special. Highly recommended!

Wow, what an amazing experience. We were lucky enough to see seals, eagles, puffins, dolphins and to top it off minky whales. The dolphins swam along side the boat at arms length away. Thanks For a great trip.

Very good small museum which shows how the life used to be on the isle of Lewis. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a nice gift shop.

Very good museum with some interesting and unique historic exhibits from the local area. Local guide was extremely helpful. Fascinating history of the Guga hunters, Harris tweed weaving and even a full Decca Navigation exhibit. Some delightful local arts and crafts, with great selection of gifts in the shop. Cafe was good, including good selection of cakes and food. Well worth the visit!

Insightful visit to Comunn Eachdraidh Nis. A lovely and enriching experience that offered a meaningful glimpse into the local Gaelic community and its heritage. The exhibits and atmosphere reflected genuine care and pride, making the visit both informative and heartfelt. Absolutely worth stopping by for anyone interested in the culture and history of Lewis.

Very interesting museum, mostly around the social history of the local area. Worth going to visit, entry is a suggested donation of £3 per person. Visit the on site coffee ☕️ shop. They have an extensive menu, better still the salad and veg is growing behind the museum, can't get any fresher than that.

We loved our visit here. Excellent, welcoming cafe, well-stocked, quality shop and informative museum.

Brought my Dad here as his father was originally from Ness. We thought it was fantastic, items were displayed well and with great thought, the whole place was immaculately clean and the staff were wonderful. The coffee shop was well laid out, menu choices were very good, the staff were lovely and the service was swift. Would highly recommend a visit to this place.

The food here was okay... The soups was supposed to be scotch broth but was definitely either tomato or minestrone. The toasties were nice and the staff were friendly enough, apart from the older woman who was rather rude to us when we first came in. Seemed to be very busy with bus tours so the cafe can either be rammed full, or pretty dead.

Very Poignant tribute for a very moving and sad incident at the end of the First World War.

Grand views and a luvly walk down to this memorial. Tragic tale! Don’t forget if ya visit here to bring a wee stone to place on the cairn.

Incredibly peaceful place, what a sad history. Well worth a visit .. and read what actually happened.. heartbreaking

Quite emotional. Well worth a visit. But beware the climb back up can be a little daunting if you have mobility issues.

A great respect to those who lost their lives. One being my great great uncle.

Its a memorial to a tragedy that affected most villages throughout Lewis. It seems tacky to give it a rating but the story deserves to never be forgotten.

Lovely walk down to the memorial.

We (our 2 year old daughter) really liked the soft ply here. A nice little find on a rainy holiday afternoon. Cheap to enter and for refreshments too.

Lovely little multi level soft play place Full of love and enjoy

It's a good place for kids to play. Food takes a long time to come when it's busy but is always good quality and fresh. Updated menu is really good. A few times parts of my order have been forgotten (which is understandable as they get very busy at times) but staff are always apologetic and rectify the mistake quickly.

Been to this soft play a few times. Unfortunately, the food is very very slow. In the summer I could understand as it was busy. The last visit there were no food orders before ours and it still took over 30 mins for a microwave pizza. Adult food always comes first and then the child’s food, piping hot so they can only look at it. Kids milk forgotten on 2 occasions and had to ask for it again.

Prices have gone up to £5 per child. An expensive day out if you have three kids. The smell of old chip fat permeated the whole area. Our clothes were smelling of it when we left.

Last minute booking for our granddaughter great value, good food and a super Victoria sponge cake thank you

One of the best places to take young children to on the island. Good size soft play with a wide array of food

Lovely big play area with splash park in the summer! Only issue is that with all of the cladding it's tricky to see children when they're climbing ladders, an activity on which they're likely to hurt themselves! This is my only fault with the place, but my son loves it here, and could easily spend hours without getting bored!

Great playground with lots of activities for children all year round

Fantastic structure for the kids. Great for a picnic nearby.

Drove 40 mins to get here on a friday in summer holidays. All gates locked, but saying open online.

Kids loved splash area, sand pit and "castle".

Really nice Park with a small splash pad area. There is a big Castle play area for the bigger kids and another area for smaller kids with a sand pit. The splash pad is a bit small and only seems to work every ten minutes, although I think it's a bit rubbish the kids absolutely love it so what do I know.

I used to go to this park as a kid back in the 80s, only had a paddling pool then. Now it has a splash zone, kids play area with an impressive castle themed play structure. The grounds are well kept too. Nice flowers. Really nice place for kids and families or if you just want to sit out on a lawn with a non alcoholic beverage in the sun.
