Could really do with a revamp. The parks are both old, rusty and grafitti is rife. Some of the equipment does not work. Not the best for families. We visit when they host the play in the park events in the field which are great for families. Edit (June 2022) The park has since been updated which has vastly improved the feel of the area.
