Great park. Dogs allowed on leash. Nice grassed area. Good play areas. Two of them for different ages or groups. A water feature that is manually started. Several hot plates for BBQ. With tables and seats It's a very nice park. Great for kids or adult picnic parties.

Great park if your little ones like water play. 2 playgrounds for different ages and bbq facilities. The water play area is great but a bit slippery in areas. However, no nearby bathroom we could find.

A lovely quiet playground area with a small water play area too. Playground is undercover which is good to keep that steel slide cool. No swings unfortunately. Playground not as suitable for small toddlers. No nearby restrooms.
