Fairly small but has enough space to walk the dogs and a few things in the play park to keep the kids busy. The grass areas are a little unusable just now with the weather being so bad but potentially a place to sit in summer too

Dowanhill Park is nestled in the West end and is a great spot to bring your kids and dogs. It has a fenced in play ground for the kids, a day care, and the good sized field for dogs to play. Good location, well maintained, and well laid out. Enjoy it!

Beautiful nice for kids. Busy between 3 and 5pm as school is right next to the park.

It's a good little park. There are rides for young kids, but it tends to be taken over by older kids - not complaining, just pointing out. It also gets insanely crowded when the schools let out. There is also a nice grassy area with trees and benches to relax.
