Nice big park which is pretty clean and tidy. Cafe on the Green is nice and does a nice little variety of drinks. Good place to watch BHCC play cricket! Plenty of benches and lots are in the shade. Large playground for younger kids, skate park for older ones, plenty of space to let a dog/child/cat off the lead and run around for a bit

Big spacious park with parking and toilets. We went when there was a fair with shows, demonstrations and birds of prey show. Very busy, but still room to move around.

Great sized park, lots to play on for little ones. Has a large and smaller climbing frame. Mini trampoline too. Free parking and skate park. Very boggy atm due to going grass. Wellies are highly recommend.
