Lovely play area for a variety of ages, we had it to ourselves when we went. Plenty of parking and lots of space to play - the zip line does make a bit of a noise when the kids got to the end & it shoots you up in the air - but they loved it! There's also a big climbing net with a twist in the middle, a tennis court & basketball court next to the play area, and gym equipment too. A few swings (baby & normal), but no loos I could see.

Great playground for the family, it's less known so doesn't get busy, just how I like it, the children enjoyed hours of play, there is a field for ball games, play equipment, and adult playground/outdoor gym and all weather pitches, tucked around the corner is a picnic area. Great few hours out with the children.
