We have been here many times before and it is wonderful. Great for sports such as cycling, football on the grass and more. You should try them out because it is very fun. This is great for weekly exercise and for your children to have fun in the play park. Adults and children should all enjoy. Go there with family, friends and yourself! This is relaxing (sometimes, depending on what you do), great for occasions and events and JUST GO! Honestly, trust me, this is so fun! I hope you go in the future. Yours sincerely, Favourite ❤️ guide exploring all the places!

Nice little park for dog walks, have only met friendly dog owners which is nice, they gave a small children's park, basketball/ football court as well as concrete table tennis table. Footpath all the way around so is suitable for wheelchairs ♿/ buggies/ mobility scooters ect.

We have really enjoyed walking our new pup, Luna over Shotgate Park. We have met some lovely people (and dogs!) and everyone has been so nice. Great park - only criticism is that the grass could do with being a bit shorter.
