Lovely park with spacious grass area, 2 play areas for young kids, outdoor gym, open basketball court. Nice long walk around the perimeter of the park. Personally I find nearby Haslam park much better and is only a 5 minute walk away from this park but I'd highly recommend both 💯

Nice large circuit (approx. a mile). Concrete path all around, but loads of pine cones all over certain parts of the route, so wheelchairs beware in autumn! Had previously visited spring/summer and the path is completely clear and accessible then. Different elements to the path, so nice for a relaxing wander with the pup! Loads to sniff!

Spacious. For deep breathing, walking, playing football, tennis, basketball. In summer wonderful shaded walks near Ashton House. Good playgrounds.
