Gadebridge Park

Absolutely beautiful.. in fact breath taking gorgeous. Skate / bike area for youngsters. Cycle track around the park .. parking is FREE all day. Was so gorgeous definitely going back better prepared

It's a lovely park with vast green spaces, and lovely river running through it. It's got the best playground in the area. It's got great quality areas for all ages. Big wooden obstacles to climb on, several slides and swings. Separated toddler area with big sand area, slides etc. And a great newly built splash park right next to the playground. Picnic tables area available too.

Absolutely beautiful park , lots to see and do. Water garden for kids , beautiful walled garden with amazing flowers. Well kept park . A joy to visit.

TRANSFORMED!!!!
A big and a beautiful park. Lush green. Great spot for picnic and family time...It seems the park has recently gone through a transformation.

The children play area expanded, great rides and other activity things. Splash water park also added for hot days, an area for exercise as well (mechanized bikes, etc.). Parking as well has been expanded (south side).

Has benches to sit, a children play area to the south. A set of public toilets next to children play area. Another set of toilets in the North as well.

It also has an area in the North West which is used by teens with those mountain bikes, skates, U shaped metallic structures, Jumping on the edges thing (sorry don't know the tech word for it). Lot of kids frequent it regularly.

A great place for walks.

First time to Gadebridge Park. The West side of the park has a hill covered in daffodils, wonderful spot sit and think. The rest of the park was nice as well as the chimes from St Mary's filled the air. The rose garden is worth a visit as well.

My first visit to this beautiful park. Free parking, plenty of space to walk about, a stream through the middle, a cafe kiosk with picnic tables and also a play area if you have young children. I particularly liked the walled garden and colourful array of Spring flowers. Recommended.

Nice park and water park too with cafe and lovely ice cream. Kids will love these park

Lovely open green space in Hemel Hempstead right next to the Gorgeous Old Town. The park and the Old town have been used as a filming location for several TV Series, including Afterlife and Masters of the Air.

The park itself is beautiful with a splash park, children's play area, with a walled garden and a food and beverage shop. Next to this is a bowl club.

There are three separate car parks to chose from.

Lovely big park. Skate park for older kids go early of you want it to yourself. Splash park gets busy if weather is good best to go early to get the shade of the trees. Bbq's are allowed in the park too. Swings and climbing equipment along with a outside gym. Clean public toilets and a cafe.

Good open space with stream and wide areas of grass. Skate park, large playground and splash park. Public Tories and parking available.

Great place for picnic, bbq, walk, outdoor games. Dogs love this place as they can socialise with other dogs and also swim in the river.

There's a nice liitle cafe where you can buy soft drinks, icecreams and some food like hotdogs, etc.

There's a great playground for children, scatepark and outdoor gym.

I've been visiting Gadebridge Park since we moved to Hemel from London in 1953. This recent visit was a one-off for forces day.

A great display by the flypast of the Lancaster Bomber and the RAF Band put on a decent display.

The park itself hasn't changed much since I was an 8 year old playing in the river Gade and I'm now approaching 75.. It's still a magnificent amenity for Locals.

I love this place. I spent many happy hours here in my childhood and youth. Wide open spaces, beautiful river, classic iron bridge, kids play area and skate park.

Loads to do, a superb selection of children's play things, a skate park, cafe, splash Park, sandpit, good free parking, the grounds are kept beautifully and the flowers are stunning! Loads of space and well maintained, very clean and friendly atmosphere. Fantastic for all ages and also able to cycle there. Great park.

This is a lovely large park with lots of walks, super play area for all ages.. Skateboard area for those a little adventurous.

Great place for a picnic

Very good playground for kids of any age! A lot of trees in the shadow of which patents can hide during hot and sunny days. Picnic places are also available. Public restroom is in the park and free car park.

Was nice and clean . Kids enjoyed themselves. Plenty of space for a picnic . Little cafe was quite reasonable price wise which sold the usual hotdogs crisps etc.
No alcohol in the splash part place I presume but the park is large enough to have a cheeky pint

A favourite place for myself and my children
There's something for everyone and the splash park is huge.
The grounds are kept clean and on point. The highlight will be our resident Park keeper, you can hear his smile from around the corner. He is professionally friendly, engaging with all. He is an absolute joy and the kids and adults luv him.. You will always hear a joyful greeting to one and all, and he is attentive in maintaining a high standard in the environment we are all in.

One thing I do take issue with and it's the uniform, I do worry about health and safety that in this sweltering weather that the park rangers can't get rid of the long trousers and wear shorts. I've not asked but have assumed that this is so.
But if it isn't have a care for them that care for us. He always makes us feel welcome and happy. Let keep him a cool guy too!

If you're a fitness enthusiast, you'll appreciate the fitness equipment stations scattered throughout the park. These allow you to enjoy a workout in the fresh air while surrounded by nature.

Just a nice place lots of space and lovely trees. Less crowded now than when COVID restrictions were in place. A good play area for children of all ages. Took the dog for a walk today, in the snow. Beware, the paths have not been cleared, slippery in places. Update: saw the first signs of spring today, February 26th. Daffodils growing taller and pink blossom on one tree. Still cold though.
Now the spring blooms are out the park is looking nice. The council is doing a great job of keeping things clean and tidy.
