This is a lovely local park. It's ideal for a visit with a play area for children. Large fields to walk dogs. There is a path all the way round if you have mobility issues and you can even grab a drink at the cafe.
The only thing I would say slightly negative is that it could do with a few more dog bins to be provided as there are some discarded poop bags. This is mainly due to lazy people, but it could be avoided as the current bins are quite a walk between them

Lovely park on a warm summers day. Woodlands along with geese filled lakes and of course there is the Captain Cook museum although currently closed. Quite a lot of graffiti on one of the folly which really needs sorting but otherwise very nice. Well worth a look.

Visited Stewart's park for family walk, safe free car parking, plenty of car parking spaces, gentle walk relatively flat area, play park with swings, slides climbing frames etc, woodland walks with plenty of wildlife, birds & squirrels, ducks ponds, captain cook museum, 2 x coffee shops serving hot food, very good value for money. monthly farmers market, i think last Sunday in the month. Saturday Morning 5k park run.

Large park with lots to see!
A very big area with plenty of different places to walk.
Ideal for children too as has a large play area in the centre of the site.
Also has a couple of cafes located around the site.

Today my girlfriend and I decides to take our daughter to Stewart's Park.
With it being heaving it was good as there was rides and beverages there. My daughter decided to go a few rides and we enjoyed ourselves. There were also a few animal's there like Sheep, goats and Llamas.
We would go again.

Fantastic park and a great place to chill. My wife and I paid a visit with the grandson and spent a lovely time there. Lots to admire and plenty to see. Really enjoyed the experience.

We took two of our grandkids there on Friday 21st June and the animals were not there, just empty enclosures. Very sad.

We had been to a National Trust place, Ormesby Hall, and on the way back we decided to stop off at Stewart Park, as we knew it was where Captain Cook was born. Plenty to do, and we just walked through the trees and by the ponds and lake. There is plenty of play equipment to keep the kids amused for a while. We enjoyed seeing the Polynesian artefacts in the grounds. We arrived too late to look in the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum. We have relatives in New Zealand, who we visit annually, so we have an interest in the explorer. There is a granite urn on the spot where the cottage he was actually born used to stand. It seems to have been demolished years ago,

It’s a great park spoiled by some dog owners who don’t clean up. I hate cleaning dog poo off my grandchildren shoes or cloths and it happens regularly. Many dogs are left off the lead but as of to-date I have not seen any incidents. I have see adults smoking on the children’s rides, serious both the couple had cigs sticking out there mouths while attending a child. Litter disposal is a issue with some but the park in general is second to none.

Are there any fenced in areas to let a dog off the lead?

as long as your dog is a freindly dog there are only the children's play area that dogs are not allowed there is also a part of the wooded area adjacent to the carpark set aside as a kind of doggy toilet area although there are dog wate bins around the partk for owners to deposit wate in , but to answer your question properly there are no fenced in areas although the whole park is walled fenced in but the entrenses car park and pedestrian, are still open for the dog to get out of if that's what yoyr worry is but it is a very large park
Thanks Jim

Somebody said £2. I paid £1 for pensioners and it lasts for a year.
The park is free with a few animals and visitors centre. There's a pleasant little café in the museum and the park is really lovely to walk around or relax.
