A nice big park, I enjoyed walking around here. However, my girlfriend ordered an iced coffee and the man served it by putting his unwashed hand directly into the ice. I don’t recommend buying iced coffee from here.

Overall it’s just a good park I went there like 3 days ago. Best but is probably the outdoor gym love it best bit great cardio. For teenagers it’s free aswell don’t need to pay to use it. I’ll be looking forward to be coming more. I like a lot of things about the park as well. But I want to write a small paragraphs.

A nice park with field and playground. Ideal for a walk and some outdoor activities. It's not far away and even though at the moment there are recreation works, it is accessible!!!!

Had a playdate with my 6yr old granddaughter and a couple of school friends. There is a new children's play area which is all singing all dancing with a couple of new things to play on. A big long rope swing for one. 2 x Table tennis tables. 3 tennis courts. Your netball/basketball/football court which seem to be popping up everywhere but take your own bats and balls. Plus your gym things. there were also a few new picnic tables. The kids loved it. I have to admit I was impressed too
