Wow, what a fantastic park. I really wasn't expecting such a lovely area so close to town. Even more surprised to see the deer wandering around and parakeets flying around. I was lucky enough to visit on a lovely, sunny April weekend and went on two consecutive days. It's massive, so there are plenty of paths to explore with a few distinct different areas. I didn't visit the cafe but the adjoining toilets were clean and free.

Lovely park with lots of open space, ponds, and beautiful tree-lined paths. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. It was great to see children enjoying the play area, biking, and exploring the trails. Sitting by the ponds in the spring sunshine was especially relaxing. We easily spotted deer, as well as squirrels, rabbits, ducks, geese, swans, and other birds. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature with family.
