A very nice and popular big park with tennis and games courts and a children playground with lots of different swings and slides etc. There are many benches where you can sit and read or watch the world go by! On good days a coffee van is there which provides excellent coffee and pasties, and other drinks too. Picnic tables are povided but there are no toilets, so be prepared!

Nice local park. Large spaces. Kids play area. Tennis courts. Grass Running track. Paved path for wheel devices. Dog friendly. Good for a picnic, take a book and relax. No parking so need to park on the main road and walk over to the park. No public toilets.
