Really nice and well kept park that leads onto St John’s Meadows which is a very peaceful place for a walk.

Lovely little park, however emphasis on the little, it’s has a play park for children, and then a small meadow/wild area for dogs to run, plenty of benches and bins. No toilets or cafe. Great little local area.

It was a lot bigger than I thought as it goes down the hill. There are two areas of equipment for the young children and the older ones. In the younger one there was a sand pit with a digging machine and next to it was a shelter with seating which would be good if it rains. Picnic benches are dotted around. At the bottom of the hill is a zip wire. I didn't see any toilet, but I didn't look to hard. Nice park.
