Well maintained paths and toilets. Nice little fully accessible walk. Stop to feed the ducks but please pay attention to the signposted dietary recommendations.

Very pretty ,nicely presented and very friendly wildlife,ended up saving a moorehen on our visit that was struck by a car it wasn't wounded but slightly dazed ,I assessed and snuggled with her for 10mins until she was ready to roam freely again. We were intending on seeing the beautiful trees in their amazing autumn bloom but a week too late im afraid. Still a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the serenity.

Great place to walk, run, and jog safely. Huge park for the kids and even disabled with sunshade to keep cool. BBQs available. Two water ponds are empty and animals are gone.
