Castle Park

Colchester Castle Park is situated to the north east of Colchester Town Centre and is divided into the Upper Park and Lower Park by the Roman Wall that crosses through it east to west. The park spans an area of 11 hectares and is listed Grade II in the English Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Importance. The park really has something for every age group. The play park, bouncy castle, crazy golf and boating lake are a real hit with the young (and the young of heart). The bandstand, gardens and museums can be enjoyed by all. One of the nicest things to do on a summers day is pack a picnic, take some out door games, chairs, etc and then find a spot on the grass in either the upper or lower park and make an afternoon of it. In fact this is becoming more and more popular and you often see families holding parties on the lower park.
