an amazing park with good activities for kids: sand pit, castle looking slide and climbing and great for cycling and scooting. other than lacking cafe facilities i would definitely say that is better than Victoria park and even Central park. we spent 4h there and my 6y old with a friend never stopped:)

This area of Plymouth is just over two miles East from the heart of the city in St Jude’s and is a beautifully peaceful and tranquil park with Sparkwell located to the North. There are a generous amount of trees comprising mostly of Ash and walking towards Cleveland Road they formed a beautiful triumphal cathedral arch. There are spaces for relaxation and recreation and a comprehensive playground for children. There are tennis and bowls facilities. Be careful where you park your car if you don’t want it covered in sap or resin. One side of the park is a residential only cul-de-sac with visitors not permitted to park between 10 and 11 am. The other side is unrestricted. All in all a tranquil reservoir of beauty in the heart of a city

Really lovely park. Great for all ages as they have baby swings and normal swings, slides, climbing frames, sand pits, benches, plus a huge field and basketball court. Can walk dogs on the field. Great place to take a picnic too or a ball/bike etc. Roadside parking. Easily accessible. Downside is I'm not sure there's any toilets nearby- i didn't see any.
