Its huge park with a nice newish playground with very good quality and innovative equipment. Parking is on road and plenty of spaces available. Lots of trails in it for walking and great outdoor experience for kids. Only downside is toilets are there but closed and also the playground had lots of spiders webs and spiders so you can tell its not often maintained. But overall a great park to be at or to have a picnic if you have a good bladder control.

A bit of a hidden gem. New play equipment and swings. Covered tables right beside the playground. There is also the frisbee golf course. Only downside is no toilets.

Nice hilly/ shady spot to walk the dog, throw the frisbee or gather in a group. There’s a playground, covered seating and (temporary) disk golf set up there at the moment.
