Fairlands Valley Park

Fairlands Valley Park (fondly referred to as 'Fairlands Valley', 'Fairlands', 'The Lakes' or simply 'the Park' by locals) is a lovely 120-acre park in the centre of Stevenage. As well as providing a beautiful place to walk and play, it has an 11-acre sailing lake. Fishing, sailing, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing and orienteering are the sports that are on offer. There are charges for each sport. Of course, you can play a game of football or frisbee in the park for free. There are also a couple of shallow paddling pools by the large play area.

Great Ashby Country Park
The fairly quiet and secluded Great Ashby Country Park really is a hidden gem. It has a large circular field area in the centre for games of football, cricket, kite flying, frisbee, picnics etc., an access only road, a small car park, two extensive play areas full of excellent play equipment and a mound on its eastern edge (this has beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and woodland). There are also several paths. And all this is set in lovely, undulating countryside, surrounded by trees and opposite Box Wood.
