My granddaughter loves this park, she loves the flying fox, and the bars you can hang from. Good size park. It has something for all ages x

Good range of activities for a range of ages. Could do with extra safety netting for younger children. On a slope so challenging for toddlers but colourful and exciting. No footpath from car park so drivers note long wet grass.
