A well organised park and playground well loved by the locals…The council have recently gone a notch to install an outdoor gym and renovate the basketball courts. Tennis hard courts is my favourite place in the summer 🤓👍

The park itself is pretty nice and the play areas for little kids are good, especially the separate sand pits. Sadly, there were some young kids swearing whilst on the swings and toddlers were wondering around. Plus whilst we were there, heard someone say they would stab someone over the phone...
