Christchurch Park is a nice place to visit, especially in the spring/summer months, good for a walk and to escape the hustle of the town centre. Good facilities, very nice tea room at the rear of Christchurch Mansion and plenty of places to sit down. Could do with more events being held here throughout the year but the annual fireworks...

The tea-rooms provide a welcome place to grab some refreshments with lots of character. The trees are large, lovely water features but still plenty of open spaces for the kids and events.

After a lovely walk around the park viewing the Classic Cars which were off to Felixstowe, we had a lovely lunch in the Cafe of the house. We sat outside in the sun and had a wonderful lunch. The house itself was stunning, although we had a slightly eerie feeling in some of the rooms which added to the fun!... More

Since having my baby 10months ago I have visited the park several times and throughout all seasons. It looked beautiful in the snow and me and my husband enjoyed sledging there along with many others. The daffodils have been lovely recently . We enjoy going to spot Mabel the owl in her tree! Since the sun has been out I... More

You can get around a lot of the park in your chair. The park is a lot larger than I was expecting. Although I didn’t go in there is a house which can be visited. No idea about wheelchair access in there. Not far out of the Ipswich town centre although you would never know whilst gazing at the sky... More

Just spent a great day at this park with our young grandaughter - play area is excellent and has play equipment for a wide range of ages. Lots of hills to run up and down with decent cafes & toilets. Next time we'll take a picnic as our grandaughter would have played happily all day plus there is a free... More

Lots of open space for children to run around and play area for them to explore. Nice walk around the lake and excellent coffee at the cafe hut. An extra bonus is the museum which is free to go into. about a 10minute walk from the town centre. Good place for the children to let off steam aswell as the... More

The Mansion is delightful to visit with interesting ceramic paintings and furniture collection - very child friendly. The pond with ducks to feed nearby, the arboretum with a variety of trees, lots of space for energetic running around and playgrounds for the children. The cafe is good for a hot drink and a sandwich or cake.
