Nice small play area for kids, well maintained equipment, public washroom was a surprisingly clean. Child lock in a play area is such a good idea. Enough parking.

Nice little park on a small piece of land and limited paky equipment good enough to spend 30 mins of your time. The playground has toilet facilities and we generally take a walk up to the M2 motorway through the underground tunnel. There are shops and restaurants right opposite the playground should you wish to do a quick purchase.

Nice little spot to munch on your goodies from the bakery or take away shops across the road. Two sets of sheltered table with bench seats available beside a fenced playground. While we were there a group of dog walkers with their dogs gathered around the other table to catch up and enjoy coffees from Jenny's Bakery across the road. A nice sun dappled spot in winter.

Small park for older kids, but lots of fun. Gated and lots of parking. There is a toilet right outside the gate, bins, and shops across the road. There is a bus stop just around the corner. The park has lots of activities for balancing up high, hence not great for little kids, though there are some lower puzzles and swings for younger and older kids. There is a park bench and picnic table there as well. Shade covers provide some protection from the sun depending on time of day.

This small playground is quite new. It is clean even though there are some times a Day where it is highly frequented (e.g. after school). The toiletts are clean. There is even a diaper changing table in one of the toiletts. The playground is compound. That is necessary, because it is directly next to a busy Street. I would recommend this playground to older Kids or Kids with good climbing skills. If you sit there and watch your children play, grab some Coffee and sweets at the Shops across the Street. Yummy!!
