Pros: large space, well maintained, large children’s park, some sort of community club building (I didn’t enter,) skate park, basketball/tennis courts, benches, picnic benches literally everything a park needs (and more) + loads of free activities through the week such as strolls, Zumba, yoga and chess! Cons: skate park is small (not a real con I really had to think of something)

What a great park! Such a variety of different spaces, it has a good kids play area, skate park, basketball court, tennis courts (if a little basic), wide open parkland area, wooded areas, plenty of benches and bins too. Beautifully kept and loads of community activities going on here as well. Not sure what's going on with 'The shed' cafe, seems closed down at the moment, but hopefully will reopen soon.

A very pleasant urban park. It is well maintained with footpaths to walk along and some open areas of grassland to walk through. There is a small car park. There is an extensive children's play area. There are some some free tennis courts too. The park is very popular with dog walkers. There is plenty of signage around the park with some reference to a Friends group for the park. See the attached photos for details.
