Ropner Park is reminds me of a Victorian Park where everything is beautiful. It is so well maintained. The pond itself is so beautiful. It has various varieties of ducks, moorhens or coots, swans and Canadian geese. Last time I visited there was damselflies and dragonflies. I spoke to a gentleman who said a new species of dragonfly was also using the lake. There is a brand new children's playground. Been open a couple of months after being refurbished. There is an onsite cafe. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. There is both in and outside seating. Park has a bowling green. Dogs are welcome. There is a band stand and a fountain. If you are lucky enough there are squirrels as well as green parrots x
During your walk you can enjoy watching lots of flower beds and green grounds. It has a beautiful lake with swans and ducks swimming in it. You can sit on benches or have a walk around this lake. There's a play area for kids with slides and swings. Kids would certainly love it. It is open to the public park and there are no tickets. For details I am adding pictures.
It's Stockton's jewel in the crown. A lovely park with plenty to see. Cafe, ice creams, children's playground, live music on Sunday afternoons through the summer on the bandstand, lake, swans, ducks and geese, bowling green, ornamental flower beds, grade 2 listed fountain. And lots of fetes fairs and festivals through the year.
Definitely my favourite park to visit with my little one, we live out of town and still make the effort to come here whenever we can! The play park has a lot to offer, the cafe next to it also has beautiful, fresh food and the staff are always friendly and helpful with smiles on their faces. It's such a brilliant park for a 'walk round' too.
Really nice park and the new play area is great. Cafe was nice as well. With drinks, food and desserts. Outdoor and indoor seating
