Lovely park. Plenty of parking. There is a play park with climbing frame, slides, and swings - up to age 10, I'd say. Next to the park is a huge grassy area with goal posts perfect for a game of football. We then went for a walk around and found a wooded area with a river that the boys loved. There are benches and picnic tables dotted around, so the next visit, we'll take a picnic

Small and well cared for wood. Something to be proud of but would have enjoyed much more if I was into nature and bird watching.
