Unfortunately no climbing apparatus that toddlers can use, so if your child is aged 1-4, dont come here. Its great for kids 5-10 years or walking/feeding ducks.
Purston Park is beautiful, clean and scenic. It has a gorgeous duck pond, skate park, and a play park for all ages to enjoy. Over the back end of the park is an open field that looks towards Nostell Priory with amazing views.
Nicely kept park. Quite small. Tennis court, football pitch, kids area, basketball area, trees, grass seats some nice carvings in old stumps, bandstand. A water feature would be a nice addition. Just go there for a short walk with my 90 year old Mum.
Beautiful place, great for kids, it's well looked after, has a skate park, and lots of space to have fun, walk your dogs or just chill out. Plus it has some parking inside to it. There is also a playground for children. And also a lake with ducks too.
Lovely dog friendly park for a nice walk with a fenced off play area for children and a skate park theres also a duck pond and this time of year plenty on conker trees
