This is a great play area and park for the kids. Plenty of space in the play area and a small grassed area to the back which has a wall around. There is a few benches to sit on and the whole area has been kept really clean and tidy. The swings and slide are in good condition too. There is a rubber flooring down in the play area so very kid friendly.

The equipment all works fine but there are huge gaps in the wall right next to the road even next to the gate which makes it pointless and very unsafe to take toddlers. The gaps mean I can't let my toddlers just free run because they only want to go where I won't let them which is the road. This is a massive safety risk for me as a parent to take my kids here until they are old enough to understand Road safety, by which point most of the equipment here is too young for them. There are also big deep holes in the floor of the rubber matting which is just asking for an ankle to get snapped in. Unless you literally live on this street, go anywhere else. Anywhere.
