Playground has been removed, grass way over grown, toilets in an average to poor state. Bin down the far end of the park was overflowing with rubbish

Plenty of seating and the public toilets are very modern. Me and a group used the barbecue and it worked fine. There's a big temporary fence covering most of the area near the barbecue however.

Park used to be nice when there was a playground for the kids. Was here a few months ago and coming today, we don’t see a difference. Grass is almost to the knee, gazebo area dirty… only good thing is the toilets are very nice and decent. How long does it take to build a play area? Very disappointed, this is a great park as it’s right beside the river.
