What people say
Beautiful little park. Gorgeous gardens & trees. Water fountain feature in the middle & some sculptures
Peaceful, shady, flowing water, and space to sit (or lie down) and read. This is a wonderful oasis on the skirts of Sutherland. Grab a hot chocolate from the Car Hole cafe and simply enjoy.
The garden is so pretty with flowers and grass so green. Compliments to the Council Gardner we saw on Thursday watering whilst I was with my daughter's having lunch.
A pleasant park to sit or for a picnic. The flowers a beautifully tended and the atmosphere relaxed.
A very nice park to enjoy a quiet sit or let the kids run around for a bit. The gardens are very well maintained and always have flowering plants.
