Hyde Park Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating I visited only once and it was on a perfect day in spring. The park is absolutely beautiful. There were a lot of people there, but it was not very crowded. There are lots to see in this massive park and every angle is filled with lovely scenery. The only negatives I have is that you have to pay to use some of the restrooms, and there are also lounge chairs set up in some locations that also require you to pay to use them. Seems a bit cash grabby to me, but I didn't let it affect my opinion.
