We spent an afternoon here lots of lovely gardens and places to sit. We enjoyed some lunch in the Boathouse cafe which had good views across the lake and gardens beyond. More

The park is fantastic, clean, so much to see, the art gallery is free admission, the grounds are so very well maintained. We visited on a rainy day, but would recommend to anyone to visit any day and enjoy all that it has to offer. More

As parks go, Lister park is nothing special, but it does offer a nice walk around the lake and the grounds. Very easy parking at either side or the rear of the park.

A very neat and tidy park providing a wonderful walk alongside a boating lake and offering a lovely cafe to sit and enjoy the day weather permitting. Cartwright Hall has good Art Exhibitions and the grounds have plenty of seating if you just want to sit and contemplate. More

An oasis of greenery, water and walkways in the inner city. A nice place to visit - the children will especially love it. A word of warning though. The park is situated in a not so salubrious part of the city. Unfortunately, it has its own unsavoury visitors. Do not leave any valuables on view in your car and never... More

This park has everything; beautiful gardens, a great playground, sports areas, a museum, sculptures, a boating lake and a cafe. Great for a picnic and an ice cream. And if you like history there is a bandstand and other interesting bits to look at! More
