good spacious park, off leash dog park with lots of grass, shade and a playground

This park has a bbq area and seating area but no toilets! I’ve never seen anyone using the space for this. You’d have to be close enough to run home which isn’t convenient especially if you have children

A nice quiet park, not many people around. Didn't see any toilets though.

Lovely little park with some great landscaping and what looks like a fantastic playground. Also a bubbler with inbuilt dog bowl is always appreciated. Slight industrial odour from the factories next door detract slightly from the ambience.
