What people say
Massive park, great for kids of all ages with a quality playground, and dog friendly. Plus a quaint bowling club next door.
Small shady park with park benches & good playground for kids. Covered picnic tables for parties. Off-leash dog area is appreciated. Not much parking.
Great Park, weird half fence around playground making it not a gated playground. No toilets. The grass drains water fast.
Not so cool. Dogs don't keep to their designated area and may jump on you inadvertently.
Me and my friends were just trying to build some jumps during the latest lockdown it was even out of the way from the public. An old lady then threatened me saying she would call the police and the council, the next day my friends and I went to the park and the council had destroyed our track the worst part is that I played to get a sign for our track made and the council lady didn't let me keep it.
