Fabulous lovely park and plenty of space for kids to run round and explore, the play park also magic the Icecream man came whilst we were there so an added bonus 😎.

We went to the Hexham Open Gardens Day and what a fantastic day it was. The gardens were stunning, the people friendly and the cakes delicious. These photos were taken in one of the gardens next to the park.

Excellent park to relax in, good for the kids and clean, usual benches and a band stand, well worth a visit especially in the warmer weather.
