点评:Emberton Park celebrated its 60th anniversary this year and had a number of activities planned to commemorate the event. This was England's first country park on the site of a former gravel works which provided much of the base for the M1 construction.
Entrance fee of £5.50 (per car) is good value for money given the facilites which include pretty good roads around the park, a number of footpaths through nature areas and plenty of kids play parks, making it a great place to spend a few hours and let the youngsters and pets loose.
With numerous lakes and plenty of wildlife, watching the sailing and feeding the ducks and geese is always popular.
No BBQs permitted but with a café serving snacks and hot drinks beside the Car Park and the ability to take a picnic with tables and seating dotted around the grassed areas, you won't be wanting for food.
Be aware, though, that service can be a bit haphazard when busy, especially in busy periods.
A popular location for the Cities of Milton Keynes, Bedford and Northampton not to mention the towns and villages surrounding it.
翻译:恩伯顿公园今年庆祝了其60周年纪念,并计划举办一系列活动来纪念这一盛事。这是英格兰首个建在旧砂石厂旧址上的郊野公园,该厂曾是M1高速公路建设的主要地基。
入场费为5.50英镑(每辆车),考虑到公园周边的良好道路、贯穿自然区域的多条步道以及众多儿童游乐区等设施,物有所值,非常适合在这里度过几个小时,让孩子们和宠物们自由活动。
这里湖泊众多,野生动物种类繁多,观看帆船比赛和喂鸭喂鹅一直很受欢迎。
公园内禁止烧烤,但停车场旁有一家供应小吃和热饮的咖啡馆,草坪上还设有桌椅,方便您野餐,您一定不会缺餐。
不过请注意,在客流量大的时候,尤其是在高峰时段,服务可能会略显混乱。
这里是米尔顿凯恩斯、贝德福德和北安普顿等城市的热门地点,更不用说周围的城镇和村庄了。
