Caldecott Park

Love visiting. Footpaths take you round the park, with a varied and relaxed view. Gardens are immaculate. The wooded areas display beautiful seasonal displays of snow drops, crocuses and daffodils. A refreshing and envigorating place to take a break. Plenty of benches and little nooks among the gardens and lawns to sit and read.

The Spring flowers are all starting to come out, topiary really tidy, wallflowers all neatly planted ready for the sun to bring them into flower. Bandstand neatly painted and children's play area all looked well maintained & good quality. Totally litter free. We also went to Hatty's café whilst within the park ( towards the back by the tennis courts and second play area). I would really recommend Hatty's - a hidden gem in the town- we had a lovely soup with crusty bread, cheese and chutney sandwich again on lovely crusty bread with good coffees. It was quite busy at about 11.30am just the right level to give it a buzz, with seats & tables both inside and out. Definitely worth a little detour into the park when you are in town. The park is so well maintained in all fronts it really is a credit to all involved. A wonderful local family resource ☺. My photos don't do it justice as it was starting to rain, so didn't take any of the main playground at town end & bandstand both of which look as immaculate as the planting - thank you for keeping this all going in these costly times- I think we all get a positive benefit from this particular use of some of our council tax.

This is a great park all season long for families with young kids or even for people in general wanting a stroll/ jog in safety..

Very nice park. ☺ lot of space nice fountains and statues. A lond path along the river allow you to enjoy nature for a long walk from part to part of the city. Benches for a little rest .

Very nice park. It has children play area and nice track to walk. Calm an cozy place to spend your time.

Lovely to walk around with my dog, was a hot day so was pleased that a lot of the paths are shaded from the trees

Great little park with play areas, flower displays and pleasant cafe.

Caldecott Park, nestled in the heart of Rugby, is more than just a patch of green in an urban landscape; it's a vibrant oasis offering something for everyone. I recently spent an afternoon exploring its delights and here's my take:

Positively Lush:

Beautifully maintained: The park is impeccably clean and well-kept, with colorful flower beds, manicured lawns, and shady trees providing a welcome escape from the city bustle.
Variety for all ages: Play areas for children of different ages, from toddlers to teenagers, cater to their energy and imagination. A dedicated area with sand and water features is a particular hit with the little ones.
Peaceful nooks and crannies: For those seeking tranquility, there are hidden benches tucked away under trees or beside flower beds, perfect for a quiet read or a moment of contemplation.
Spaciousness for activities: Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a picnic with friends, a frisbee game, or a dog walk, Caldecott Park offers ample space to stretch your legs and enjoy the outdoors.
Hidden Gems:

The Toolshed cafe: This charming little cafe offers delicious homemade cakes, sandwiches, and light lunches, perfect for a post-park refuel. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere add to the experience.
The bandstand: This historic structure adds a touch of elegance and old-world charm to the park. It's often used for events like concerts and open-air theatre, adding to the park's vibrancy.
Hidden paths and sculptures: Scattered throughout the park are hidden paths and unexpected delights like sculptures and quirky statues, adding a touch of discovery and intrigue for those who wander off the beaten track.
Room for Improvement:

Limited parking: While there is some on-street parking, it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Consider cycling, walking, or using public transportation if possible.
Toilets: The toilets are functional but could benefit from a bit of modernization and more frequent cleaning.
Lack of larger sporting facilities: While there are areas for informal games, the park lacks dedicated facilities for sports like football or basketball, which might appeal to some visitors.

A really beautiful park! Definitely good for a play and a picnic with children.
The play park is a really good size.
There are public toilets in the park itself.
And the car park next to the park is £1 for 3 hours! 27 Newbold Rd, Rugby CV21 2LX

Lovely park to lose oneself and take a break from the norm. Grab a coffee n cake from the cafe, (not open in Monday) Due to preparation in making home made cakes, Nom Nom), Awsome Park to take a walk. Great play area for the kids. Great for dog walkers. (dogs must be kept on the lead). Don't Feed the birds. Beautiful arrangements of flower n shrubs, the gardeners work hard all through the year in all weathers to make Coldecotte Park look and feel Awsome. Thankyou.

Small, but a really well maintained garden. Plenty of flowers all year and a great play park for kids of all ages.

Only downside is they charge for the public loos, but there are some free ones just outside the main entrance.

Lovely place to sit and grab the last bit of the daylight!

Beautiful park with excellent children's play area and coffee shop

Sweet little park in the heart of rugby. The ambiance at night time with the well-lit pathway makes it all the more special. Plus the Cafe in the centre is wonderful!

Beautiful park close to town centre. Big play area to keep kids busy. Well maintained park.

A lovely place to visit. Nice just to stroll around the well kempt verges and a great park area for the little ones.

Compact, but beautiful. Set right in the heart of Rugby. Lovely floral displays and a great little cafe too!

A really well-cared for public park in central Rugby.
The park is very popular with young families, dog walkers and casual users who are just looking for a bit of peace and quiet.
There is something for everyone, with a large play area for older children, an enclosed play area for younger children, a cafe, toilets, outdoor basketball / 5-a-side and tennis courts for all ages and a members bowling green / club for adults and seniors.
There is a traditional bandstand right in the middle, large grassed areas to play and have picnics and plenty of benches around the many footpaths, that are surrounded by trees and flower beds.

Great Park located in the centre of Rugby. Hats off to the ground staff who injection real love and dedication to maintain this park all year round. There's a great cafe, kids play area, tennis court, football enclosure, ample seating (benches) and toilets( nominal charge) Always a pleasure to visit.

Calm atmosphere and dog friendly park. You can sit and relax and not get hassled
