What a shame about this park. A very nice quiet park area, BUT….. it is INFESTED with rats. We took our granddaughter there and we were there for only a short period and in about 10/15 minutes we saw at least 25 rats! Surely the council must do something about it.

Lovely park, my toddler enjoyed our walk today with his bike. Good size to walk on. Play areas available too for different age range. An outdoor gym equipment for adults is available but it’s quite muddy at the moment. Kids can enjoy overlooking the whole length of the train passing by.

Nice spacious park. Small car park and toilets near the entrance. Vast space to explore, play games, or have picnics. There's a lovely wooded forest area surrounding a lake in the middle of the park. And there's also a little cafe where you can grab some food and refreshments too. Nice kid's playground area with swings, slides, and climbing frames etc. which is next to a small basketball / football area, and zip line. The park also has a mini train ride that can take you on a little trip part way around. They hold regular events through the year too, which you can check online to see what's coming up. Lovely park to visit with kids and family. Would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed going to the park and a little upset that the kiosk and golf is closing down. Had a good round of golf even though we lost the balls...lol. good to see the park being used a lot, with a circus there. Good Play grounds for the kids and glad to see the railway still in operation. Overall a good day out.
