Its a good park but when it's crowded things are busy like most teenages just sit down in one place like the spin bowl or the swings or climbing frame, I'm glad they re added the turtle swing but everybody wants to go on it and there's always people asking to go on it and I've seen some fights break out from it
Great to walk the dog. Please take poo bags with you n let's keep the park clean
Nice outdoor gym equipment & climbing frame. Let down as some equipment tired looking, swings missing & some young people misusing equipment & swearing loudly 🙁
Kick about on the old bowling green! Haha nice little pitch. Wish it was there 30 years!
Path needs tarmac. Quite sludgy and boggy underfoot. Shortly after writing this, a tarmac path was added.
