Park is well maintained. People are friendly and there is ample parking in the area. The layout is weird though but the director went through great lengths to explain the course. Turned out to be very enjoyable.

Interesting run. A small parkrun (199 runners on our Saturday we visited), well co-ordinated by very enthusiastic volunteers. Parking easy and available. its a relatively flat run, with only a few spots to watch your step - mud or rocky sections. The run doubles back in a few places, then cross a bridge and back but each is well guided by the marshalls. The graffiti along the water channel is interesting, particularly from the bridge which is not something you will see driving on the M1. The play area in the park we noted is a park gym, with the most interesting equipment. If you need some strength training after the run, its certainly worth a visit.

Clever use of space in this narrow greenbelt. The ParkRun backs back on itself a few times during the route. The route is relatively flat with a sneaky uphill finish.
A well-managed ParkRun with great volunteers.
Dogs are allowed to join the run if on a short leash.

Friendly volunteers
Well organised but Event Director speaking very softly.
Recommended.

Great spirit and loads of people. This parkrun makes a loop of the same route (or parts thereof) , very dusty in October.

Great park run... More of a trail run. So u gotta be careful of uneven terrain for the serious runners. The team is excellent and organised... Second to none and there visible armed security which just gives u peace of mind.
