Lovely park with a lot of potential with just a little more TLC. Has a great biking and skate area, play area (needs work). Large pond and some lovely gardens

Shoebury park is a nice place, however, the Brook under the small footbridge needs dredging of all the rubbish and weeds before the water rises again. That spoils it..

Nice Park with a pond, children's playground, tennis courts and a skate ramp with exercise machines. There is maze at the car park entrance, all in all a nice park in general for everyone. Nice to see all the ducklings on this visit, hopefully the turtles have been removed and they will have a greater chance of survival. Unfortunately the toilets have been boarded up due to vandalism.

Excellent playground under the trees. The main park area isn't huge but is well maintained and has a pond/lake with a pleasant shady path around it. There's a bowels club, skate park and large field to one side. Around the lake there are often fishermen being you know, fishermen. Unfortunately there is a bit of litter as everywhere these days, people are just happy to drop it but if you live nearby then this is a nice place to walk to and around. Keep your eye out for rats under the decking :)
