A lovely pretty place to enjoy a day out, walk around the lake in the autumn sunshine. The paths were easy to walk on, maybe a little uneven for a wheelchair in parts. Lots of bird life to see. A children’s play area with lots to play on. Take a picnic and enjoy the view or get a snack and warm drink at the lakeside cafe …

We live in Petersfield and love the Town. The Heath is just great for a walk, a picnic or to take the grand children (when CV19 doesn’t prevent it!). Well managed and the new boardwalk is so much better than the old one.

As regular visitors, before the pandemic, my wife & I were finally confident to visit the pond again this morning. We were really pleased to see all the work that has already been done with plenty more to follow. The new boardwalk has made such a massive improvement with visitors now able to walk comfortably along that stretch of the pond. One way system seems to work well, in most areas, but would benefit from a few more signs around the pond. The new wildlife islands are a welcome addition & were well populated by a whole range of birds who seem happy with the new surroundings. Well done to everybody for making Heath Pond an even better place to visit than it was before & I'm sure will attract many more visitors - Thanks…

We have visited Petersfield several times, mainly the shops and never knew it had the lake. Currently there is a lot of work going on to increase the biodiversity of the lake. Dredging deeper sections, island rebuilding and mainly shore rework. It started in January 2920 for 12 weeks........still ongoing so I think C-19 May have affected the work!! The walk around the lake is not long but really nice with a lot of birds to see. There’s a play area and sating and a cafe. Currently a one way system is in place around the lake and the broad walk bridge. However it’s not easy to spot so could be improved. Where we walked in from we went the wrong way until we got to the bridge and had to choose a different route!! The heathlands behind however are also worth exploring. We were there for a few hours walking and taking a break for a cuppa where we has several birds come up to us for food 😊.…

Gorgeous place to visit for a wander around the lake, a walk around the heath, take children to the park, or grab some refreshments in the cafe. Has been much improved recently with many islands to encourage the birds.
