Great country park, especially good at this time of year if you don't want to get you or your dog muddy. Dogs can go off lead. Toilets as well! Donation car parking. Thoroughly lovely!

We did a memory walk here yesterday, the walk was fine, but had to wait ages for refreshments. The cheese scone was really dry and crumbled in my hand, it won't stop me going back again

We enjoyed a family day at Harrold Odell Country Park. Plenty of picnic tables near the car park and a children's play area at hand too. We purchased from the café activity parks for the children, boys aged 7 and 9. These kept them looking for things as we walked round the lake, so good. In fact the 9 year old wants to go back to spot the the things he didn't see to get more points in the booklet.
Many lovely wood carving to see as you walk round and another play area half way round the lake.
The boys took their skateboards as there's also a small skateboard park.
A very enjoyable day.

Fabulous park. Took my mum who needs a wheelchair and she loved it. We had lunch in the dragonfly cafe,purchased some duck food and fed the ducks and swans then went for a walk. Lovely place to visit for everyone.
My only small complaint is that the paths are quite bumpy for a wheelchair user but otherwise I would thoroughly recommend the park to everyone.

Well to start with HELLO PARKING. Donations only! Could teach the other country parks a thing or two. I donated the suggested £1 because I think that's more than fair for the hour I spent. Other places charge £3-£4 for up to 4 hours but if you don't stay long, that's a rip off. So thank you Harrold O'Dell for that!
Cafe and play area on site. Plenty of seating on the walk round; which takes 45-60 mins at leisurely pace with a few breaks in-between.
Gorgeous views and friendly visitors.

Stunning views, amazing wildlife to look for. Perfect place to relax. Take time out for mindfulness nature watching, amateur photography and a nice walk. Lovely sandwiches/rolls made as you wait. Dragonfly Cafe is lovely and the staff are friendly. Love it here

Firstly there's loads of spaces. There's an over flow car park too.
I used the postcode MK43 7DS.
I used this in my phone which is up to date, and it says the entrance is the other side of the road, which it isn't.. so look out for the small " country park " sign.
The car park is free, but you can donate £1 if you'd like.
It's not a massive place, but you can do many other walks from here too around the ouse valley way.
Dogs welcome.
Children welcome.
Mother-in-laws welcome.
Dog bins provided.
Dog on lead and off lead areas.
Toilets available.
Cafe available.
Picnic benches available.
Sitting benches around the lake.
Small children's play area available.
Paths all the way around the main lake. Suitable for normal footwear and prams.
There's even a small ramp if you feel like bringing your skateboard... !!
It does get fairly busy at the weekends, so get there early if you'd like some peace and quiet. saying that, it's not really big enough for an all day event, and you can walk around it in 40 minutes, and thats at a snails pace !!
