Stoke Park

Visiting Stoke Park

Our teams are working hard but Stoke Park paddling pool remains closed for now due to high combined chlorine levels. Find out more information.

Stoke park is Guildford's largest and most popular award winning park. There are 52 hectares of unspoiled rolling grassland and open views across Guildford.

You can play minigolf, have fun in the playground, enjoy snacks at the park kiosk, relax in our rose garden or enjoy walking your dog in the 52 hectares (dogs must be kept on lead in our gardens). There is something for everyone at Stoke Park.

Opening hours

Stoke Park Gardens is open daily from 8am. The gardens close at dusk/8pm or whichever is sooner.
