Took the kite and buggy here for an hour. Nice short grass, very little litter, very little dog poo. Nice 👍
Fabulous for walking dogs plus running track there
Me and my friends like to ride our bikes around here to get to town quicker. The grass is cut regularly however dog poop is littered around. But there are some bits which are perfect for going fast downhill. The paths are well paved and not damaged compared to the track.
Not as nice as it used to be since they have put some massive paths through the lovely grass area. Loads of dog walkers seem to use it as a dog walking area now instead of a playing fields. Even though you get some very good dog owners, there are always a few leaving piles of dog mess around. The council putting tarmac paths through hasn't helped the area at all.
Great big field. Excellent for dog walking and fun fairs occasionally go on it which is perfect for them. Only downside is sometimes you can't get into the car park as they lock it up and people let themselves down by not picking up their dogs mess. Otherwise it's a fantastic big field. Would be great to have a small park too if travelling tonite but there is Clifton park down the road.
