Parker's Piece

My advice is to take a stroll around 4 PM. The lighting is beautiful for photos, and it's much less crowded than in the morning. You'll actually have the space to relax!

I think it's smart to bring a blanket or a small foldable chair. We ended up sitting on the grass, which was okay, but having something comfy is a game changer, especially if you plan to chill for a few hours.

Don't miss out on the Ice Cream truck that shows up on sunny days! The flavors were amazing and perfect for a hot day. I wish I had tried more - it's a must if the weather’s nice!

If you're into sports, bring a frisbee or a ball! I saw lots of groups playing, and it looked like a lot of fun. Even if you just join in for a bit, it’s a great way to meet people!
Jesus Green

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! You might find yourself wandering a bit more than you planned especially if you want to explore the trails.

Check out the outdoor lido if you fancy a swim. It’s super refreshing on a hot day, and it’s much more fun than just lounging in the park.

There are plenty of benches, but if you want to claim a good spot, arrive early. I missed out on the best views because I didn't get there soon enough!

I found that the best time to visit is around 4 PM. The park isn’t too crowded then, and the light is perfect for photos.
Christ's Pieces

If you’re on a budget, don't forget to bring your own snacks! There are benches everywhere, and it’s a great spot to relax without spending too much.
Cherry Hinton Hall

Don't forget to bring some bug spray. I did, and it made a huge diference while enjoying the lovely green space. The mosquitoes can be quite annoying at times.
The Backs

I recommend bringing a packed lunch to enjoy by the river. Food options nearby can get pricey and the views are way better than a cafe. Just don't forget a blanket for comfort!

If you're visiting The Backs, I suggest going around 4 PM. The sunlight hits the river just right then, and it's perfect for photos. Plus, it’s less crowded so you can chill with a nice view
Lammas Land

my advice is to visit on a weekday afternoon, around 2 pm. you’ll avoid the weekend rush and can enjoy a quieter vibe. plus, the light is perfect for photos!
