Play area is good, space to kick a ball is good. Great to get your kid to ride a bike round the cricket pitch path Kids on motorbikes is a negative, though they are very respectful of little kids usually.

Great park to take your dog for a walk. All my dogs love this space, maintained nicely too. Most people who come here are friendly and so are the dogs that we meet. Nice park for children too and the cafe is a nice added bonus.
