Suffolk police were called at around 8.40am today after a member of the public reported seeing the body of a man in a pond.
Emergency services were called to the scene and the man, aged in his 20s, was recovered.
A section of the park had been closed for much of Sunday morning (September 15), however the cordon has now been lifted.
The death is not believed to be suspicious.

A passer by who did not wish to be named said he visited the park most Sundays and it was a lot quieter than he would usually expect.
"We were really shocked to see the police presence and wondered what was happening," he said.
