What people say
Great little pocket park with play equipment for children, space to kick a football and an old tire on rope swing. It also happens to be a fun park for picnics or birthday gatherings.
I've seen 3 changes of swing sets in that park had many a tight fought cricket match and countless aicorn fights
Lovely quiet park with plenty of surrounding trees. Modern play equipment and lots of open grass areas to play on. Has only one picnic table though, But still a great park!
