Small hidden beautiful place but not maintained. Requesting the authorities to clean the entrance, trim the grass, shape the bushes etc. If drinking water and toilet facilities added, it will be very convenient and safe park for seniors and children. Thanks.

Great little secluded park. Plenty of grass to kick a ball around or shoot some hoops. The playground equipment has a concrete path perimeter shaped like a number 8 and is flat - great for scooters and bikes. The only negative with the playground equipment is that it is difficult for smaller ones to get to the top of the double slides. My 3yo son had to be helped walking on the chain grid and my 5yo daughter could do it, but lacked confidence initially. Apart from that there are no bubblers, or toilet facilities, or BBQs. Good for an hour or so of play, which the neighbours probably prefer.

Great park hidden away. Would of been awesome if it had shade sails, toilets and bubblers to drink water. All in all we enjoyed the park.

Nice secluded park. I’m from out of the area and needed somewhere to sit and eat lunch. Grass is long and the area looks like it needs some tlc.

A beautiful secluded park, with a playground for children and grass area for pets to roam. Equipped with a basketball hoop, this park is a wonderful find for someone who loves to be surrounded by nature. A great place for a picnic with family and friends.
