Wild Birds at Wicksteed Park

At Wicksteed Park, we are fortunate to host a diverse array of wild birds, each contributing to the natural beauty and ecosystem of our beloved park.

From the graceful swans gliding across the lake to the cheerful robins flitting through the trees, these wild birds are an integral part of our environment.

We kindly remind all visitors that these birds are wild animals and should be treated with respect and care.

Please refrain from touching, approaching, or attempting to harm any of the birds. Their natural behaviour and well-being depend on minimal human interference.

Additionally, we ask that you do not feed the birds bread, as it is harmful to their health. Instead, consider offering healthier alternatives such as birdseed, peas, corn, oats, or chopped lettuce. These options provide the necessary nutrients without causing harm.

Later in the year, a duck feeding station will be installed in the park.

Observing our beautiful wild birds from a distance and feeding them appropriate foods ensures that they remain safe and stress-free, allowing everyone to enjoy their presence in the park.

Thank you for helping us protect and preserve the wildlife at Wicksteed Park

Customer Reviews

"We all had a fantastic time here plenty of car parking. Me, my daughter, Niece, and Grandson and there's lots to do here, including lovely walks and fun rides, plenty of eating places too. We took our own picnic though there were plenty of seating areas. We were able to buy extra drinks and ice lolly on our walk around the rides. Plenty of toilet facilities too. The staff were lovely and friendly here, would definitely recommend it here for a fun day out."

Charlotte

"First time visiting this park and wasn’t disappointed. Such a lovely place. Couldn’t decide to either buy wristbands or tokens. Family of four. Two adults. 6 year old and nearly 2 year old 0.8m tall. Wristbands were the cheaper option in the end. Staff friendly and happy. Food was really tasty. We ate in the American diner. We couldn’t do the whole park we got there at midday so we ran out of time. We will come back and come earlier in the day."

Collette

"We had a lovely day at the park on a very busy day, it was an amazingly good value day out. It is still incredibly popular mostly down to affordable rides and free play park. We visited twice in the summer holidays, we bought tickets both times as with the length of queues we had only managed to get on two rides in the first hour and a half. So you couldn’t of got on 22 rides to make the wrist band better value. We were disappointed that there wasn’t a track with cars to drive as in previous years. As with little boys that is a firm favourite"

"We camped at Wickstead park this weekend for our annual camping trip with friends and kids (age range 15 - 13). Booking was very easy and great communication with reception. The site is very clean, as are the facilities and there is lots for the kids to do. Its a very safe site and I would highly recommend it. We will definitely be back!"
