The park offers a outside play area and outside pool.

The sculptures were fantastic and we enjoyed seeing everyone. My camera was very busy and I took a lot of pics .

Simon's vision was to create an environment for enthusiasts that blends nature's beauty with inspiring works of art free from the constraints of enclosed spaces of a traditional gallery. The sculpture park has been carefully landscaped and curated to ensure each piece is positioned to enhance its aesthetic qualities as well as the visual surroundings. We are open from 11am until 5pm Monday to Saturday winter time, and Monday to Sunday summer time. *Please note no dogs or children under the age of 14 are allowed on the premises.*

When we arrived at Bicton Park, the staff member told my two year old and five year old that they…read morewere not allowed to bring in the dolly push chairs that they were pushing. My children were very upset. I asked the staff member what the purpose of that rule was and she said it was "on the sign". I asked her why it was on the sign and she said "insurance won't cover it" with no explanation of what it was that insurance wouldn't cover or how dolly push chairs could be deemed more dangerous than full-sized pushchairs. I then had to choose between forcing the children to leave the push chairs behind, upsetting them further, or leaving Bicton Park. We left and we will not be going back. This was my children's first experience of the small-minded enforcement of rules that serve no purpose. I hope they won't have to come across such a ridiculous situation again.

Beautiful walks and plenty of parking - more expensive at the weekend, but fairly reasonable throughout the week. Lots of people take dogs there for walks, and it's fairly easy to spend a couple of hours there. Fishing nets for children can be hired from the barn to fish in a small pond nearby. There's also a river running through but to do fishing there you need a permit.

Let me just say, I like deserted parks…read more Not for any perverted reason, I just enjoy wandering without being privy to passers-by (if I do happen upon a few, ones without thirty cans of cider would be preferred). That said, Alexandra Park is probably my favourite park in the Cardiff-ish area. With gardens, topiaries, and hideaway benches peppered throughout, the park offers a stunning views of Penarth once you manage to climb to the top of its commanding hill. But it's a definitely a hike worth making. Right smack in the middle is a cockatiel aviary, which I find both mesmerising and kinda sad - I'm not really a crazy-hippie-tree-hugger, but I do feel strangely compelled to rip the caging off and let the poor things out. If you tire of the wooded landscape, Alexandra Park is right across the street from the Penarth Pier, where you can grab a slice of pizza and an ice cream cone before heading to the rocky beach for a stroll.

It's kind of like reviewing your own garden... weird.

Very nice gardens, but to gain access into the House proper is very expensive (unless you're a NT…read moremember that is).

The Apex Park is an informal leisure and wildlife park, created around the former clay pits - now…read moresmall lakes - of the Apex Brick works. The works closed in 1966, and the park was created and opened in 1972. The park, consisting of grassland, trees and hedgerows, covers some 42 acres. There are two main lakes: the larger, central one has an attractive hour-glass shape and its banks are lined with rushes. There are walks around this lake with park benches, and footpaths branch off to go to Highbridge (along the line of the old railway) and to Burnham's South Promenade, following the river bank of the River Brue (very muddy after wet weather!). There is a large car park off Marine Drive, which leads to a broad slipway into the lake. The other lake forms the park's north west boundary and lies partly within the Haven Holiday Village. Popular activities include BMX biking, model radio-controlled boating, jogging (there's a 'trim-trail' with various pieces of keep-fit apparatus) and fishing - the lakes are stocked with carp and bream. Dog obedience sessions also take place most Sunday mornings in good weather, and there's a children's play area and skate park. As well as the fish, wildlife includes birds, including geese, ducks, swans and various different types of sea bird, and the hedgerows contain a variety of different types of trees and bushes, home to insect and bird life. NB: The Highbridge Angling Association holds the fishing rights for the Apex Park. Permits can be obtained from Thyers Tackle Shop, 1A Church St, Highbridge - telephone 01278 786934.
