This was a fun park for our 4 year old. We had take-away at a nearby restaurant and walked down to this park to have a play and eat. No picnic tables which was a downer but had plenty of seating via benches and an under tree seating area. It is a dog friendly park and only one dog was there and stayed off of the playground area (like advised from the sign posted). Would for sure go back to this park.

Too small

Slide is fun but it's often used by teens or addicts up top. So sometimes has had unsafe materials there. The council are quick to rectify but being proactive with security cameras would help. The nearby community centre can be booked for kids birthdays or other events.
