3.5 out of 5. It's a nice area, though the park itself needs a bit of a pressure wash and ideally a some more fixtures to play, but it's OK for younger kids.

A nice place to walk your dog or take your children to the swing park. Living locally, I go here a number of times a week to walk our dog. There is easy parking and the park is enclosed and safe for dogs and children as long as people close the gates. There are also woods behind the park which are worth exploring.

fantastic large open park with closed area for children to play on swings etc. access to the woods behind the park leads into a wonderful "almost" unspoiled wooded area. great to explore with a dog or kids. old quarry area with extremelly high cliff edge. need to be extra careful at this point as not closed off properly, but there are minimal warning signs. My dog and I love coming here was it is still a bit wild although it is a small area
