I went out with my family to enjoy the park which my kids loved and it was the best thing that could of happened when I saw Alyaans ice cream. Very delicious and lots of flavours to choose from. Top quality service.

Nice park. Looks well maintained. Sections of garden with nice flower beds, a couple of kids play areas, plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the outdoors. A little aviary with some birds. Toilets which have certain opening times (should have take a photo, sorry!) Lots of dogs off lead, plenty of bins, maintained paths for walks.

A great place to walk a dog. I've been going to john Leigh park since for ever. The path all round is a great little walk. It has two park areas for the kids. One for bigger kids then further round one for the younger kids which has a fence all around it. It has a small aviary. There are always loads of people there when it's a sunny day and the ice cream man parks up in it on warm days too. It has tennis courts/ football/ and basketball courts. It is a very popular place with dog walkers so not a place to go if petrified of dogs.

The park looks really good with all the fallen leaves. The play area itself isn't placed in the best area, not too far from the road with no fencing, but it is fun for the little ones. There is a bit of area to walk around and the birds are a cool attraction.
