Great fun with my 4 year old where there was a separate area for children. Ample options for her which was great!

Kiddies love this park and the new revamp is easier to see the kiddies. Love that I can see the sea and waves while watching the kiddies in the park :). Maybe doesn't suit bigger kiddies than 8 as the shoots are pretty small, so could do with A bigger shoot/ big climbing bit but it suits those who go there :)!

Looks a bit tired as its not changed much in the last 20+ years, but it is a fantastic climbing frame ! The under cover area smells of urine :-/

It looks run down but it's safe and the kids loved it. We use it to blow off some steam after gymnastics.
