Great Park, play areas, dog walking areas, lovely walks along the river front. Rock Park is an urban park in Barnstaple, Devon, England. The park was donated to the public by William Frederick Rock and opened in 1879. It has a number of listed structures including an obelisk at the entrance to the park, a lodge and a range of historic lamp posts

Very much enjoyed Armed Forces Day. Saw the Red Arrows fly past and enjoyed the stalls.I used the toilet although I couldn't find a light. There was an adult outdoor gym which had well oiled moving parts. The children's playground was popular too.
Fantastic place while on holiday I've walked my dogs here, very clean lovely space. And park facilities for children.
It's a Very Big Park around where we live, It's always nice to go for a walk or just chill. it has a play area for Kids, A Basketball Net and a Huuggeee Area if one is Planning to Play Football.
