What people say
Nice big park, skateboard ramp, toilet block pretty on the outside, a bit grubby inside
Went there for the Sunday Markets which were very nicely done and very organised !! Although at the moment there’s some council works going on so the full efficiency of the park cannot be experienced 🫡🫡
It is fun at the skate park. NATE 8. Markets are cool. EVIE 11 I imagine that the skate park gets quite busy in the school holidays with both local and tourist kids looking for something to do. It caters well for beginners to intermediate level and is quite varied. My kids spent many hours here.
