Nice big open grassed field with a kid's playground at one side. It has got toilets but no idea what they're like because I haven't been to them. There is off street parking (dirt only) but the holes have been filled in so the ground is now even. No under cover areas and no place for picnics.

Open field and good play equipment for kids. Toilet block close by equipment with toilet paper

Park is OK, could be alot more inclusive for people with disabilities given the large amount of space, also would be much better if fenced off from the road. Definitely showing its age

It's a good place 4 the kids to run around but not when it has been raining very muddy so if you take them there when it's been rain hose them down b4 getting home
