The Felling Park is a beautiful spot to visit. Nestled between Sunderland Road and Holly Hill it provides a play area for children, an events green area for families to sit and have a picnic, a multi-use games area with goal posts, basketball and table tennis facilities. The volunteers are working hard to maintain flower beds and surrounding landscapes. Grandchildren love to visit.

Never knew this place existed. It’s a delightful park for the community run by a small team of dedicated volunteers. They sell plants to raise funds and are always keen to hear from anyone that could spare time to help out. Great to meet some of the team, today.
