Beautiful place. Huge area to play with kids, some playground (bit outdated and slightly dangerous as whole equipment there is metal so in warm weather is heated very easily as it's in open spelace) but it's still lovely place to have a day out with family. Really quiet, lots of trees, beautiful lake with looots of birds. Will be definitely coming back here.

Beautiful, spacious, clean park with lots to do including tennis courts, kids playground, exercise machines (including table tennis), football pitch, nature walks, a lake to feed the birds and many interesting features. There are many benches to sit on and picnic tables to eat your food. There is also a church area with parking.

Beautiful and Peaceful Park We always visit this park as it is spacious and well-maintained it is. There's plenty of open green space, which makes it perfect for a relaxed stroll with your children and dogs. The playground is a hit with kids – clean, safe, and full of fun equipment. One of the highlights is definitely the lake. It’s home to swans, ducks, and a variety of birds, making it a peaceful spot for birdwatching or just sitting by the water. The walking paths around the lake are ideal for anyone who enjoys a scenic walk – and it’s very dog-friendly, too! I saw several happy pups walking with their owners and even a few enjoying a splash near the shore.
