What people say
Great place for kids and family. Well maintained Bbq, seating, play equipment, exercise equipment, water taps, dustbins. But no toilets :(
Great local park. Recently undergone a makeover. It has BBQ and shaded seating facilities. The play equipment is good and adequate for a small local park. There is exercise equipment further down and a large area of grass for picnics/exploring.
