Well tended park and recreational area. Caters for football, tennis, table tennis, lawn bowls & more. Beautiful flowerbeds to sit & relax by. From the on site cafe we had a lovely fresh sausage, bacon & fried egg sandwich in crusty bread while we sat in the sun (rare sight in Telford). It was a good pick me up after walking the Wrekin. Fantastic views but well worth the effort. First time I've been above the clouds without being in a plane!!!
