    This is a really good facility in our region, although to be honest, they could make a lot more of…read moreit! It's basically an ordinary farm, but the public are allowed to go round and see all the animals - for a fee of course! It's council run, so the fee isn't too bad, actually. As you enter there is a little shop where you pay your entrance fee and can buy little souvenirs, and also some little bags of food for the goats. The first bit you come to after the shop is a pond and a load of ducks and geese. Beware, if you start to feed this lot they won't ever let you leave in fact they will follow you in quite a menacing way! It's a bit scary, especially if you've ever seen any Alfred Hitchcock films you know what I mean! The farm also has pigs, sheep, horses, donkeys, cows, etc. Depending on the time of year you might be lucky enough to see tiny little lambs, which are really cute. Then go back a few months later and find them actually quite scary and intimidating things with gigantic horns and an evil glint in the eye! There are also, of course, the goats. They are so cute, and will eat everything. They loved the little bags of food we'd bought so much that they not only ate the food, they ate the paper bag, too. There was nothing we could do to stop them! There is also a little play area for the children, with swings and a few other things. You can happily while away a few hours here, especially if the weather is nice. Often they have special events on, like once we went and they would actually let you have a go at milking a cow. Other events have been children's things like making Halloween masks, or making bat boxes. You usually have to book in advance for these events. All in all, it's a nice place and the children really seem to enjoy it - but I do feel it's under-used, and the council could make it so much more if they actually tried.

    We have visited Ropner Park many times as a family since it was refurbished a couple of years back,…read moreand my 7 year old daughter is always keen to go back. I didn't grow up in this area but my husband did and he remebers a time when the park was dirty and almost derelict. This is not the case now however; there is a new bandstand, a cafe selling refreshments and ice creams, and new children's play area, with many different slides, climbing frames etc. for the kids to play on. However I must say that this area of the park is now covered in grafitti, although I guess this would happen anywhere unfortunately; some of the equipment could do with a bit of a clean. Also it is very difficult to park outside the park; we have actually driven round a few times trying to get parked, then given up and gone to Preston Park instead! I would recommend Ropner Park as a good way to keep the kids happy for a couple of hours.

    They have cleared all the bushes from the the outside of the park, returning it to its freshly…read morebuilt victorian state and totally destroying the feel of it, in an attempt to stop teenagers from going in parks when its dark. The thing is, when its dark, noone can see anything anyway, so it makes no difference, just ruining the look of things during the day. The Vcitorians i think would have been fuming and probably horsewhipped the councillors involved, while Ropner himself would have asked for his money back.
