Local park located behind Glendale. The field is kept well by the council and the playground has good play equipment for ages up to 12 years old. Our toddler loves it here and we're very happy to have a well kept playground so close to home. No parking available, which doesn't affect us but good to know.

Badly neglected. The entrances are muddy and dangerous with over-hanging trees. Grass is never.cut properly or often enough. Not many amusements for children. Not enough seating round the boundaries especially for invalid or senior people.

As at date of visit - Aug 2018 - apparatus well kept, appeared in good order & safe. Daterelevant, as in a year or so this could change, as apparently a venue for older kids in evenings. Not a big playground but it's within a large area of flat grass, much used by dog walkers

Lovely place to walk your dogs. Kids have a great play area which is fence off with no dogs allowed. And it also has five a side goal posts for the footballers who visit.
