What people say
They have a nice playground for young kids, 2 table tennis tables, swings and outdoor gym. The toilets are clean and the space is big enough for dogs to run. Parking can be very limited.
A really calm and serene place to come and sit down and just relax. Nature just sort of engulfs you and you can enjoy it. Perfect place for you to bring small children as there are swings, and it's a big ground for dogs to play as well. If you live near here, definitely go to this place.
I grew up going to this park, it's a great place for kids to play and run around, it has seating for the parents to relax for a bit. Lots of room for ball games. It's dog friendly from what I can remember so keep that in mind with little ones .
Lovely little park, with a small jungle gym both for kids, and adults keen to do calisthenics. Toilets here are good and they even have two ping pong tables! Just bring your own bats and balls.
