What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Queen's Park is a well-loved local green space, praised for its beautiful wildflower displays and family-friendly play areas. While the park's natural beauty and recreational facilities are a hit, some visitors have encountered issues with customer service and unclear timetables at associated amenities.
"This is a pretty park with kids play area, exercise area, all weather pitch etc large green areas. It is undergoing some changes at the moment as they area adding a new feature but they have made sure it still attacks people with a huge spring summer wild flower area that seems to make all the kids I've seen playing through it so happy."

"Absolutely disgusting service. 3 grown adults who work there of which were 2 life guards and a shift manager bullying a non verbal autistic 5 year old child made a scene for no reason upsetting a happily chilled child. Then the woman life guard rebecca proceeded to go over to the other life guard who was male kian and was rudely slagging my child off in which i asked her if she thought that was acceptable as other adults heard what she was saying then she tried to denie what she had done. She then went on lying saying my daughter had floats on which she blatantly never which manager seen and also stated the child had no float on at all then the manager tried to force my daughter to do a length of the pool which she done then they still had a problem which then upset my daughter which had her screaming so I told them not to worry as we are leaving. Never in my life have I ever been so disrespected and made to feel a show because of my child's disability . I will be taking this further as it is discrimination against disabilities"
