Toilet door was broken needs fixing, hard to walk up to the toilet side as the parked has 2 separated fenced areas and steps only on 1 side, overall good and quiet park

Nice park with soccer ⚽️ fields and a great skate park. Good for dog🐕 walks🚶‍♂️Toilets 🚻 are sometimes open. lol There's a big old grand stand there what's showing its age gracefully...

The oval is in fair condition and is in a good location. There is a skate park on the south side. Toilets being open seems to be a hit or miss so beware.
