Standard park. One for older kids, not much on it. Park for young children was great. Lively du k pond with seating. Lots of little shops as you walk in to get a coffee and a sandwich.

Lovely park with a beautiful layout. Nice play area for the kids and everyone was generally polite social distancing and taking turns to play on the different items in the play area. Sat by the lake and had a little picnic. It was a lovely afternoon for all the family.
