Riverside space and family play / WARWICK

St Nicholas Park

Use Warwick’s main riverside park for a change of pace after enclosed historic rooms. Walk a short section beside the Avon, find space for a picnic or let children choose the play area. The park works as an outing in its own right; its separately operated attractions are optional additions rather than the reason every family must buy a ticket.

Before you go

Separate the free park from paid rides, boats, parking and other facilities. Check individual operators if one seasonal activity is important to your day.
