People refer to Darlington as “lovely sunny Darlo” and on The day I and my BoyFriend Visited South Park The Phrase was certainly true to its nature. We both sat on a bench looking out onto The lake hearing The geese, children and birds chirping in The trees. Sometimes just being present in the moment makes the moment last in one’s memory for a long time. At South Park there are some lovely views.
Oposite the playground there are some picknic benches suitable for the whole family.
You can watch children playing in The play park, ask their parents questions at the aviary and watch people play with their dogs on The lawn. The park is fabulously well maintained and clean.

Furthermore, getting a push chair or wheelchair down, closer to the lake is possible however the geese seem friendly and largely unconcerned about human presence.
