Very large park and not very busy which is great if you're looking for some quiet time. Not much going on here but there is a nice pathway around the park with a number of benches under tree shade to relax. There's a small fenced playground with swings, a slide and things to climb on. The grass is overgrown and irrigation is not great, I stepped on a few boggy areas whilst exploring. Even though there has been light rain recently, other parks nearby do not have this issue. It's a shame there is so much space here, but not much of it is usable due to lack of maintenance or facilities.

Simple, quiet leafy local park with ample space to meet various needs. Only downside is no public toilet facilities.

Has a smallish playground with some nice places to climb for kids. The park itself is nice and big so a great place to run around

It is a lovely family park ideal for babies and youngsters. Can get busy during term time so may be best going with young toddlers out of term time
