What a delight it is to visit, to sit and rest, and to walk around this wonderful public park, looked after beautifully by the team of groundsmen and presents with such fabulous diversity of planting and always giving a fabulous view with the different rolling hills which make up the landscape. Such an asset to the area and also proudly and warmly welcoming to a big diverse range of birds and other wildlife. Also I love bringing my ping pong rackets and ballso we can be playing ping pong on the established table area, although it could do with scraping off some of the growing lichen to give it back a smooth surface again.

Great park, good for my dog as he gets a good runs around. There is a pond with some little ducklings and some very special vegetation, including one of the biggest willow trees I've ever seen. In the far corner there is a nature reserve where you can follow little tracks through to the park again. Absolutely love this park!

A nice park for a walk or a picnic - a hidden gem. Well maintained and usually not very busy. Big playground including zip line and water sprinklers turned on in the summer. And a second smaller playground at the top of the park. A catering van with drinks, snacks and icream during busy season. Toilets not always open.
