Wow!.........Lovely clean and Tidy Park with adjacent Football/Sports fields. Plenty for all the family to enjoy. A cafe which was not open when we visited. We've just moved from Leeds West Yorkshire about 8 Months ago to enjoy the quiet life and the Sea. Parking is on street but we found a place so was not an issue. Super friendly people and their Fur-babies. Very Dog friendly. We loved our visit and we will definitely be back. Thanks for making us feel so welcome what a lovely Community. 🐶🐾👱‍♀️🤓❤️🇬🇧

First class , well looked after , lots of seating and walkways, hard courts for basketball, children's play areas, bandstand, statues, rugby, football and cricket pitches, bowling greens, cafe, toilets and parking. Lots of information plaques on the seating with the history of the park and the colliery , going back in the summer when the borders and baskets are in Bloom.
