Greenfield Park: visitor review

I visited Greenfield Park with my family last weekend. The park’s website was helpful and gave us lots of details about opening hours and activities. However, it didn’t provide any information about parking, so I had to call the park office for clarification, which took some time.

When we arrived, I noticed the car park was very spacious, but there weren’t enough signs showing the way to the entrance. Fortunately, a staff member noticed us looking around and kindly pointed us in the right direction.

The park itself was beautiful, with well-maintained gardens and clean picnic areas. The walking paths were easy to follow, and there were signs along the way explaining the history of the park. However, some of the benches were broken, which was disappointing.

At lunchtime, we decided to eat at the café near the lake. We had to wait a while for someone to take our order, but once the food arrived, it was delicious. The staff were polite and even recommended a dessert, which turned out to be excellent.

Before leaving, we stopped by the gift shop. It was well-stocked, but the cashier didn’t ask if we found everything we needed, although she did thank us for visiting and wished us a good day.
