Hyde Park Reviews
Rated
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.

Lush gardens overflowing with vibrant flowers greet you at the entrance, and the chirping of birds creates a delightful soundtrack for your stroll. The park is so huge and impeccably maintained, with winding paths perfect for a peaceful walk or a jog.
For a unique perspective, rent a paddleboat and explore the calm lake. After your adventure, unwind at the charming restaurant, offering delicious food to fuel your day. Whether you seek relaxation or recreation, Hyde Park offers a delightful escape for everyone.
