A nice walk with small car park, well maintained paths that are mostly flat, a few rivers and ponds etc. Okay for a short dog walk.

Quite a nice walk but half of the park goes through a housing estate which makes it difficult to let your dogs off lead. Also a lack of signs on the housing areas means it would be easy to miss next entrance back into the park.

Not a bad place to sit and relax or just take a short walk. When you enter the park, there is a silence that gives you peace, the birds are singing, and everything is starting to turn green. There are paths, benches for sitting, and a rope playground. There is a pond where ducks swim, and there are many birds in the park. In general, the park has a lot of trees, flowers and plants that are starting to bloom because spring is coming. There are a lot of fallen trees now. Be sure to wear shoes that don't need to be kept clean. Some places are very dirty after rain. In the park there are sculptures made of wood, many wooden or iron bridges for crossing There is a small parking lot at the beginning of the park. A wonderful place, but very dirty in the autumn and winter seasons. In spring or summer, this will be a great place to relax, walk with children, and feed the ducks.

A small car park, leads to a good size park. It is dog friendly. With a lovely climbing frame for children. It has a pretty lake with ducks. A good size walk area for dogs on paths and grass areas. Also seating around and nice grass areas for picnics. Could do with a few more bins. Also a good walkway for cycling around. Saw lots of bikers and dogs while we were there. Will definitely come again.
