Very good place, natural park growth no artificial setup. It is allowed to grow wild. So the trail path seems like you are in forest. It had three trails to traverse through park. The park is habitat for ducks, bats, owls, rats, various birds. It is quite good on bright sunny day.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who enjoy wildlife spotting and informal nature exploration β€” and who do not mind getting muddy. Wear wellies or sturdy shoes regardless of forecast. Not accessible for pushchairs or wheelchair users due to the uneven, informal paths. Works best as a local neighbourhood outing rather than a dedicated day trip.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Wear wellies or sturdy waterproof shoes β€” paths become heavily muddy even after light rain
⏰Bring duck food for the ponds β€” children can feed wildlife on arrival
🎟️Stick to the wider paths with younger children as informal routes can be uneven
πŸš—Visit on a bright day for easier walking and better wildlife sightings

β€œAn little urban oasis for wildlife. Very small and not worth driving specifically to for a walk but a great spot for a breather if your local.”

β€œA little park that’s mostly quite wild, with a few paths but most of it is accessed by informal paths. Great for dog walking or little kids. Definitely worth wellies or sturdy shoes if you’re going off path. There’s a fun seat made from stone on the old Roman road by the pond. There are some ducks but it needs a bit of a clean. I don’t really think it needs anything more or it’d ruin the vibe. Great for a local walk.”

Reviews from Google

Overview

Three Sisters is a compact wild park where paths cut through natural growth, creating a forest-like atmosphere in an urban setting. Three small ponds attract ducks and support bat and owl populations. Informal trails wind through the site alongside a stone seat on an old Roman road. Paths become heavily muddy in wet weather and are unsuitable for buggies or wheelchairs. The park is free to enter and well-suited to short local visits.
