Kids rode their scooters here both of them are fairly new to scootering so they could only do the beginner section the metal ramps are ridiculously old and way too steep they only ended up doing the pump trap one way you get so much speed and the other way you get too little the biggest section is way too big for them not worth the hours drive

Had a great time at the grounds. Good parking for free, lovely children's playground for the children to use. Nice grass areas to play ball game. There was a cricket match going on which was good to watch. Nice cafe on site serving hot and cold food with a great choice of drinks.
