What people say
Nice large park. Good for exercise, walking your dogs and there is a bicycle track too. There are no dog poo bags available easily. There is one in the offleash area of the park.
A big swing for adults. Bike riding and hiking path+ parks for kids as well
I like what they've done. I hope the council is one day able to put more bike infrastructure in to connect this safely to clemton park and beyond
Great park nice and clean could do with more benches. Close to Frank n Chitch for coffee
The park is well maintained and is good for walking, running and generally using parkland facilities
