What people say
Sprawling park and doggie friendly. However, there are no fences so if you are not super confident with your recall, then too risky. Also, the walk along the river, and this is true no matter where you join it, can likewise ne a bit stressful if you have a puppy or, if like me and my little Freddie, you take every available opportunity to take the leash off. There is a big toilet block- but its locked...
Great walking/bike track . I often use to walk my dog. Peaceful and serene. Children's play area ,BBQ facilities, public toilets including drinking water taps for bottle refills. Highly recommended
Love the lights at the park.
Nice park, great fields for soccer, and well maintained. The only problem is that there aren't many seating options, and the grass is pretty wet in winter, especially when it is early and dewy. Besides that, it is a pretty park and lovely for watching soccer!
A beautiful park with the mixture of peace, silence and sometimes a lot of noise when people of all ages are here for there football matches. 2 minutes walk from my home and the river is just so beautiful and serene. Great to have a picnic, for sports and even for a quite walk or cycling. Love to spend time here in many ways as it an amazingly beautiful multipurpose spot of natural beauty.
