Full of scrubbers who don't clear their dog mess up and just take their dogs there to run all over off the lead and can't control them. Big dogs small dogs vicious looking fighting type dogs I've had them all round my ankles here and the irresponsible owners do nothing. I go as early in the morning as possible to... More

I really cannot understand some of the negative comments about Rother Valley Park. This is the first time we have visited the park and found it great. Yes it is £3.50 to park which includes all day if you so wish. What we did was park outside the park and walk in by one of the many footpaths available. We... More

A good park to visit. We live closeby and its good to take the kids to stop them from playing on their playstation. Its easy to get too. The cafe is a typical park cafe and reasonable in price. It is never busy. There is play area for young kids and a pleasant lake

I am dis-appointed for a council run park, it seems clearly intended to make a profit and not to provide a service for local residents. Rothervalley consistently claims all profits are put back in to the park but considering the boats are obsolete, kit is broken, roads are in poor condition, the huts are in a terrible state, no hot...

Nice family day out - ruined by the bad attitude of the staff. Whilst watching the water skiing at this family park staff were rude and appeared nothing but irritated by children doing what they should be doing. Playing and having fun. Management need to have a word with staff about customer service. Extremely disappointing.

I use the park on a regular basis mainly for dog walking, its about 5 kilometres around the two main lakes. There are plenty of cycle routes in and around the park which join the national network but to cycle around the park is pretty flat so not to taxing. There are several seating areas around the park and its... More

We had an excellent time learning to windsurf... the instructors were great.. We and another family booked a group lesson of mixed ages and had a memorable and delightful afternoon trying to navigate around the lake on a surfboard. Also hired sailing boats.. My only recommendation is for your children to wear helmets. Mine didn't and one of them got... More
