Such a beautiful place to go out with family or friends. I love to take my doge here as theres so much space for him to run about and have fun playing fetch. Would definitely recommend for a dog walk or for bringing young children, as someone who has been brought here since a child.

Nice park with good children's playground and open space suitable for dogs and children. Lots of space to run around safely. There is also a bowling green and tennis courts. Flat paths suitable for learning to ride a bike or scooter. Small garden area with seats, plenty of shade in the summer.
