A lovely park with ponds, spacious paths, an outdoor gym and kids playpark. It also randomly has half a solar system trail. Not sure why Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don't get a sculpture. I mean if you've gone to the trouble to make the first four, it would be nice to complete it! There's loads of space in this park, there's toilets and a cafe too. There's plenty of free parking also.
