wynyard woodland park

Who are these people in the council who insist on changing the names of places to meet their contrived marketing attempts. Are they even from Stockton. Castle Eden walkway - why the attempt to make it associated with Wynyard.

Lovely walks for dogs and children, good access and nice flat paths for pram/ pushchairs, fantastic play area for children of all ages. We have visited regularly for a year now and after 2 visits the staff recognised our toddler and remembered his lunch order each time so he feels very special and welcome!

Enjoyed this walk on a frosty January day some nice open areas for the dog to have a good run and the park kept my daughter happy for a while. Will have to revisit in the summer when the cafe and other areas are open but all in all good place to visit

My husband and I visit this park on a regular basis and always enjoy our hour long walk as the pathway we take is all flat. We visit during all four seasons, and always enjoy our well deserved cuppa and scone, which are always delicious at the end of our walk. Weather permitting we sit outside the cafe and get so much pleasure from watching the different finches/tits etc. Our young grandchildren enjoy a shorter walk, with the promise of the children's play area afterwards, and of course a picnic on one of the many tables there.

Nice but service could have been friendlier and prices a bit steep when you paying for a family of 5 & 3 friends!

First visited today as we live 20+ miles away, we will definitely visit again. Nice and clean, ample free parking, good range of play equipment, even us adults enjoyed the slides!!! Cafe and visitor centre were closed when we visited after 5pm, toilets were adequate. Worth a visit, plenty of walking routes and picnic areas, cyclists routes as well.

Lovely place to take the kids,we go there a lot ,nice bike rides ,walks ,picnic areas,great for kids from toddlers to 11/12 year olds

Ideal for walking dogs or letting kids ride bikes up disused railway line. Visit the old Thorp Thewels Station with its visitors centre and tea room. Also includes the Planitarium and observatory. Information boards on paths relate to information on planets, and trees and wildlife in area, very informative for the kids. Free parking and toilets available, as well as a car recharging point.

I really like the woodland walk and think it is great for people of all ages. However the grumpy older woman who works in the cafe detracts from the visit. I think she is rude and has few customer skills. She comes across as hating her job and making sure everyone knows it. Not just my view. A friend has found the same quite independently from my opinion. I suggest she is moved to a post where she is in the kitchen only and doesn't need to interface with the public as she is certainly putting me off going in there. Or she stops taking out her bad mood on others!

This park is great, its changed a lot over the years but it good for all ages, theres the walkway itself along the old railway, the play park is large and is good for all ages. There is a café and gift shop onsite, observatory and the Ice Cream is lovely.

We went with our daughter and dog. Nice walks, play area, cafe and plenty parking. Only thing I would like to see is better sign posting and maps. We wanted to take the sculpture trail but only found 2 sculptures. Would recommend for a nice day out and will definitely return again.

Fantastic fun for al the family and with three parks plenty to keep all ages happy, plenty of picnic areas too and parking, lovely afternoon of FREE fun

Had a lovely little walk here. Although it was very busy when we arrived the atmosphere was still very peaceful and relaxed. We only took a short route, but will definately be back to try a longer route once child is older.Well sign posted to get there, large car park, lovely little shop and cafe in the old station and a huge play area with brilliant equipment. Only criticisms were that the entry road is narrow and only had 2 passing points, there was only 1 member of staff in the busy shop, and although there are a few route maps on the main path, some on the actual routes would be good.

Clean and tidy, safe place for young children to play ages 3 to 14 should find something they enjoy and there is a cafe for the grown ups

Have been on a number of occasions and always enjoy it. Lovely woodland location, nice walks, fabulous childrens play areas and the cafe is an undiscovered gem - undiscovered because the very poor signs make it look like the boarded up railway carriage in the station yard is the cafe, when the cafe is actually in the station buildings. Well maintained and nicely laid out cafe in a number of opened out rooms in the old station house. Good choice of homemade hot and cold food, helpful friendly staff, great value prices too - this place deserves to be busier and would be if the Local Council owners got their act together and sorted out the rubbish signage! Definitely worth more than one visit.
