A WONDERFUL town centre public park that is well maintained, large garden areas with beautiful plants and trees, lots of playground equipment for children, skate park, tennis courts, bowling green, paddling pool, cafe selling hot and cold food and drink where you can dine inside or outside, toilets available. This park is a credit to the local town council as it is very well maintained to the highest standards and should be recognised by the local public and visitors to the area.

A lovely well kept park. Beautiful flowers in the gardens. Plenty of green grass to sit/play on. The boats and train were running which was a bonus for my grandson. The splash pad in the play area was also running. An excellent park overall and well worth a visit.
