Nice play area for kids age 3-12. Lots of running space. I'm a bit dubious of sand in suburban parks with so many cats round. Has a bubbler with a dog water bowl. Bike track is a bit dull for the kids, just round in a circle. No toilets. Good for locals but not somewhere worth going out of your way to.

Very simple park. Not fenced but quiet streets. Good large grass area for kicking a ball around. Never busy. Simple play area with no other facilities. UPDATE: Has a good new play area with good sand now. Still simple play equipment but a good muck around place for small kids

Nice little park with playground equipment and beautiful trees. Surrounding neighbourhood is very nice.

Wish the council cleans the sand to rid it of sticks and leaves to make it much more enjoyable. Other than that. It's a nice relaxing park with working equipment
