Car Parking Charges AVOID
Car Parking Charges make Hylands not worth visiting now. Totally unreasonable nobody use it again !,
Don’t bother.
Outrageous parking charges. £5.50 if you stay for more than 1 hour. Officious staff in the on site cafe, who were happy to charge £9.50 for soup and bread. Also all food has a surcharge for eating inside the premises. Obviously we will not return as there are far nicer places to walk and eat in the local area. Great park and location but unfortunately Chelmsford Council have got this offering really wrong.

Disappointed with the parking set up.
The park is lovely, although there is some confusion about where dogs can and cannot be let off the lead, also the courtyard area where the cafe and shops are does not allowed dogs, subsequently the area is empty, clearly not good for business for the shop and cafe on that side; the other side where dog owners are permitted was packed, busy and vibrant. My biggest criticism of the park is the parking facilities. I went with a 76 year old friend who does not have a smart phone or do online banking, if his granddaughter had not been with us we would not have been able to park. I consider this to be discriminatory to not only people of a certain age, but to climate activists who understand the damage smartphones and our online life do, to people with learning difficulties, anxiety, stress that may not be able to manage smart phones or online banking. Because of this one thing, the parking and how it is set up, I will never go to this park again, because it suggests that the management of the park are not inclusive or adhere to the diversity and equalities act by making reasonable adjustments for people that do not have smart phones and online banking and those that cannot manage such devices.

EXORBITANT CAR PARKING CHARGES.
Went to meet for a coffee, service a bit slow but they were busy.
PARKING CHARGES were exorbitant. £ 3.35 for an hour or £ 5.00 all day. It was an expensive cup of coffee with parking charges.
I will not go back and next time meeting relatives for a coffee go elsewhere.

Lovely walks in open parkland
The park is especially appealing in Autumn thanks to its ancient trees.
Sadly, parking charges introduced by the City Council have limited access to many visitors.

Spoiled because of the new parking charges
Delightful park but this gem used to be free and now yet another source of income for the local council.

Kind RegardsWonderful park, parking charge killing it!
I love Hylands Park, have been going there since childhood but very sad to see that it is now pretty much deserted.
Obvious sign of this is the cafe, used to be very hard to get a table at this time of the year, now virtually empty.
I doubt the cafe, artists and lovely bookshop will be around much longer.
I get that the park costs money to maintain and I feel £1 or £2 for the whole day would not have been unreasonable for parking and generated lots of revenue.
Please make it a flat charge or remove it completely to rejuvenate this lovely park Chelmsford County Council!!!!
Ouch! Expensive parking
Used to be a regular journey break but following the introduction of the parking charges unlikely to be visiting again. If we were staying for the day then £5 is actually quite reasonable, there's a lovely play park and gardens however £3.35 for 1 hour does seem a bit steep. No signs about the parking charge only paid because we spotted the machine - wonder how many people have been caught with a parking fine over these changes.
Parking charges.
Now they have introduced heavy parking charges I doubt we will ever go there again. Every local council has parks and recreational areas ... which are already paif for in council taxes. Even non-residents should not pay to park since we all have access to each other's parks.
I would not recommend this park until chares are removed.
Basil ThorntonParking at Park ????
First visit to the park and it wasn’t clear if I should have paid for parking. If you are visiting the house and you have friends with walking difficulties then do not park at Hylands park. Follow signs on the London Road to the house. If I should have paid for parking at the park then I might think twice about going there in the future just for a walk which is a shame.
Greedy council charging ridiculous parking fees!
Wanted to visit the craft and farmers' market (which is just a few stalls, but thought it would be nice on our way into Chelmsford), but had to pay £3.35 just to park for an hour! Crazy prices for a short visit. Needless to say we won't be patronising the market again, or probably bothering much at all with Hylands Park. It's simply not worth the money for a short visit. Stallholders were complaining it was 'dead', the parking sting might be a clue...
Overpriced parking
Take away the ridiculously overpriced porking charge! Used to be free, GREEDY COUNCIL saw a cash-cow! I wouldn't recommend anybody goes here for any reason, just lining the coffers of the GREEDY COUNCIL!!!
Average
We visited here for a quick walk around the park. Although some of it is lovely, it’s not amazing and the parking was expensive (£6.50 if you want anything more than an hour)
The cafe was ok, but £6.85 for a ham and cheese toast ain’t cheap for just a cafe
Polite staff
Parking Charges
Oh dear what a shame - we went there yesterday just for a walk around this beautiful place. We left straight away because of the parking charges. I think it is right to charge for parking to help with expenses - but £3.35 an hour - NO - £1.50 - £2.00 would be acceptable. Its such a shame - we've been visiting this gorgeous place for over 10 years on a regular basis - but no more I'm afraid. But as a footnote, the gardeners and park keepers keep this place looking wonderful - they work so hard. We will miss it.
Ruined by parking fees
Used to love coming here but they have now introduced parking charges which are a rip off. £3 an hour , anything over £5
Parking charges have killed the park.
Went to the park for the first time since parking charges were introduced. The place is now deserted. A terrible waste of such a wonderful civic amenity. The council should be ashamed of themselves, as it used to be such a vibrant green space.
翻译:停车费让很多人不满意。
避免停车费
停车费让 Hylands 现在不值得一游。完全不合理,没人再使用它了!,
别费心了。
停车费太离谱了。如果你停留超过 1 小时,则需支付 5.50 英镑。现场咖啡馆的工作人员很热情,他们很乐意为汤和面包收取 9.50 英镑的费用。此外,在场内用餐的所有食物都要额外收费。显然我们不会再来了,因为当地有更好的散步和用餐场所。很棒的公园和位置,但不幸的是,切姆斯福德市议会对此的安排真的很错误。

对停车场设置感到失望。
公园很漂亮,尽管对于哪里可以和不能放开狗绳有些困惑,而且咖啡馆和商店所在的庭院区域也不允许带狗,因此该区域空无一人,显然不利于那边的商店和咖啡馆的生意;允许养狗的人进入的另一边人满为患,繁忙而充满活力。我对这个公园最大的批评是停车设施。我和一位 76 岁的朋友一起去的,他没有智能手机,也没有网上银行,如果他的孙女不和我们一起去的话,我们就没法停车了。我认为这不仅对特定年龄的人有歧视,而且对了解智能手机和我们的在线生活所造成的损害的气候活动家,对学习困难、焦虑、压力大、可能无法管理智能手机或网上银行的人也有歧视。因为这件事,停车场和它的设置方式,我再也不会去这个公园了,因为这表明公园的管理并不包容,也没有遵守多样性和平等法案,没有为没有智能手机和网上银行的人以及那些无法管理此类设备的人做出合理的调整。

高昂的停车费。
去喝咖啡,服务有点慢,但他们很忙。
停车费太高了。每小时 3.35 英镑,全天 5.00 英镑。一杯咖啡加上停车费,真是太贵了。
我不会再去了,下次和亲戚喝咖啡的时候去别的地方吧。

在开放的公园里散步很愉快
由于古老的树木,这个公园在秋天特别吸引人。
遗憾的是,市议会引入的停车费限制了许多游客的进入。

因为新的停车费而被宠坏了
令人愉快的公园,但这颗宝石曾经是免费的,现在又是当地议会的另一个收入来源。

亲切的问候很棒的公园,停车费毁了它!
我喜欢海兰兹公园,从小就去那里,但很遗憾看到它现在几乎荒无人迹。
咖啡馆就是一个明显的标志,以前每年这个时候都很难找到一张桌子,现在几乎空无一人。
我怀疑咖啡馆、艺术家和可爱的书店不会再存在了。
我知道公园需要花钱维护,我觉得全天 1 英镑或 2 英镑的停车费并不算不合理,而且可以产生大量收入。
请将其设为固定收费或完全取消,以振兴这个可爱的公园,切姆斯福德郡议会!!!!
哎哟!停车费太贵了
以前是定期的旅行休息地,但自从引入停车费后,不太可能再来这里了。如果我们待一天,那么 5 英镑其实很合理,那里有一个可爱的游乐园和花园,但 1 小时 3.35 英镑似乎有点贵。没有停车费的标志,只是因为我们发现了机器才付的——不知道有多少人因为这些变化而被罚款。
停车费。
现在他们引入了高额停车费,我怀疑我们是否会再去那里。每个地方议会都有公园和休闲区……这些已经由市政税支付。即使是非居民也不应该支付停车费,因为我们都可以进入彼此的公园。
除非取消收费,否则我不会推荐这个公园。
Basil Thornton在公园停车???
第一次去公园,不清楚我是否应该支付停车费。如果你正在参观这所房子,而你的朋友有行走困难,那么不要把车停在 Hylands 公园。沿着伦敦路上的指示牌前往房子。如果我应该在公园支付停车费,那么我可能会再三考虑是否以后只去那里散步,这太可惜了。
贪婪的议会收取荒谬的停车费!
想去工艺品和农贸市场(只有几个摊位,但觉得在我们去切姆斯福德的路上会很不错),但不得不支付 3.35 英镑才能停车一小时!短暂的访问价格太疯狂了。不用说,我们不会再光顾这个市场,或者可能根本不会去 Hylands Park。短暂的参观根本不值得花钱。摊主们抱怨它“死气沉沉”,停车费可能是一个线索...
停车费过高
取消高得离谱的猪肉费!以前是免费的,贪婪委员会看到了一头摇钱树!我不会建议任何人出于任何原因来这里,只是为了填满贪婪委员会的金库!!!
一般
我们来这里是为了在公园里快速散步。虽然有些地方很可爱,但并不令人惊叹,停车费很贵(如果你想待一个多小时,要 6.50 英镑)
咖啡馆还可以,但对于一家咖啡馆来说,一份火腿和奶酪吐司 6.85 英镑并不便宜
礼貌的员工
停车费
哦,天哪,真可惜——我们昨天去那里只是为了在这个美丽的地方散步。我们因为停车费而马上离开了。我认为收取停车费来帮助支付费用是正确的——但每小时 3.35 英镑——不——1.50 到 2.00 英镑是可以接受的。真是太可惜了——我们定期来这个美丽的地方已经超过 10 年了——但恐怕再也不会来了。不过顺便说一句,园丁和公园管理员让这个地方看起来很漂亮——他们工作很努力。我们会想念它的。
被停车费毁了
以前很喜欢来这里,但现在他们引入了停车费,这简直是敲诈。每小时 3 英镑,超过 5 英镑就得收
停车费毁了公园。
自从引入停车费以来,我第一次去公园。这个地方现在空无一人。如此美妙的市政设施被浪费了。市议会应该为自己感到羞耻,因为它曾经是一个充满活力的绿色空间。
