Popular and well used with children's playground, adult gym equipment and tennis/basketball courts, cricket field and other sports provision. Small kiosk selling ice creams etc. Very poor toilets - best to visit nearby cafes or library!

Nice open park with plenty of green space for kids to run around and enjoy some fresh air. It’s peaceful and not too crowded, which is always a plus. However, the main issue was that the public toilets were closed, which is really inconvenient, especially when visiting with young children. Facilities like this are essential for families and should be kept accessible. Overall, it’s a decent park for a quick visit, but better maintenance of facilities would make a big difference.

Visiting this park has truly become one of my favorite parts of the week as a mom. It’s a place where I can relax while my children play safely and freely. The playground is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for different age groups, which gives me peace of mind knowing both my toddler and older child have activities they enjoy. The soft ground surface under the play structures adds an extra layer of safety that I really appreciate. What I love most is the atmosphere—spacious, green, and full of fresh air. There’s plenty of shade from the trees, which makes it comfortable even on warmer days. The walking paths are perfect for a stroller, so I can get some exercise while my baby naps. There are also benches conveniently located near the playground, making it easy to keep an eye on my kids while having a few minutes to relax. This park feels like a community space where families gather, laugh, and connect. Every visit leaves me feeling refreshed, and my children always go home happy and tired from all the play. It’s a wonderful, family-friendly park that truly makes motherhood feel a little lighter and more joyful.
