Interesting Memorial, Duck pond with Identifying board. Children's play area. There is an events stage, which was not in use on the day we visited. Nice for a quiet walk and generally very clean. The park is situated on a slope and may cause a problem for people with severe walking problems, however the park does have good clear paths for wheelchair access.

Started playing tennis here after the refurbishment, cracking set up. So cheap to subscribe for the year (£25), can book as much you want. Then after tennis, walk around the park. Lovely.

A really good all year round park. There's a children's play area which is separated into 2 for younger and older children. At the top of the hill you will find a large, well-maintained football/basketball area. Located near the bottom entrance you can find a community garden, which (when we last visited) is open to the public. There's quite a large variety of fruit and vegetables growing. Pea's, carrots potatoes, onions, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, apple trees, pear trees and so much more.
