This park is great. I love th outside gym bit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on it though - perhaps maybe in January just to kill of the New Year’s resolution by Feb! It’s a great park with great facilities as you can see from my pictures. Right next to Singlegate school too so really convenient for parents and kids after school when the weather’s nice. Love it

A virginly beautiful and peaceful place for recreation and picnic at 7-8 minutes from Coleles Wood, today seems even more hospitable because of the beautiful sunny weather. I recommend! 5 stars

Lovely local park - playground and paddle pool for the kids; table tennis, basket ball and tennis courts for the older ones and great big sports ground for throwing tennis balls for the fur beasts. The only reason I can think that a few people gave it bad reviews is because they want to keep it a secret! 😁
