I think it needs to be renamed I took my two toddlers thinking it would be toddler friendly..... It was not there was no suitable fencing between the river and park in fact there is very little fencing around the whole place at all. Large humps separate deferent sections making it difficult to keep an eye on children across the park. The play equipment not a lot of it was suitable for toddlers. It is more suited to primary aged children. On a positive it did have a toilet block although I can't comment more as didn't use it. Plenty of (paid) parking. You do get half hour free. And CCTV in operation (according to signage)

It's nice play area for kids ranging upto 15 year old kids. Paid Parking just near to entrance mkae it easy to manage. Nice place for picnic. Toilets are also located just nearby. Sometime they are clean sometime not so clean. Only one toilet have changing facilities available so make sure enter into right one. Always wipe changing table before and also after use as well. Sometime I didn't found it in very nice state to use. For food no immediate place around, but can bring food for nice picnic

This is a great toddler-friendly playground conveniently located right next to Cambridge West Station, which makes it perfect for spending time with kids either before or after a train. There are lots of activities, especially suited for younger toddlers, and you can easily spend an hour or more here. There’s also plenty of space for a picnic, and the surrounding gardens are lovely for a walk. The playground itself is in very nice condition and well maintained. The only downside is that some visitors don’t always leave the place as clean as they should, which can take away from the experience. Apart from that, it’s a wonderful spot for families.

This is amazing and wonderful playground. It got varieties of playing equipments for children of different categories. They look so natural and historical. People from different cities usually camp here. There are lots of other attractions areas around the playground. There public toilets, lots of parking spaces and relaxing areas. There is canal with canoe for leisure activities there. My kids enjoyed the place; they wished to stay more. It is nice place to visit.
