Lovely little park. We really liked the references to local history and important historical figures from the area. The theme of the play park, related to this made it a bit more special. Lots of fun for kids and grown ups combined.

My kids love this playground, they have a place to jump, run on the grass, play football. There are often additional attractions for children.

What a great park! Amazing plane shaped climbing frame, bike style roundabout, swing and roundabout for wheelchair users, obstacle course type routes, snakes and ladders painted on the ground, great condition. Would say for ages 4 and over. Will definitely be back, hopefully on a dry day unlike the day we went!

Great, local community play park with equipment all inspired by aviation and exploration. My youngest lad absolutely loves going here. There are also picnic benches and toilet facilities, so this is a great place to explore.
