A park with good potential but sadly let down by neglect and vandalism. Fun little playpark for the toddler but a lot of vandalism, graffiti and dangerous articles about, for example someone smashed a glass bottle all over the slide in the toddlers park, which could lead to serious injury and they've all been scrawled on. Older kids park is separate from the babies park and there is a lot of open space for walking dogs, picnics and etc.
It’s a good little park, children’s play area is ok for younger kids, older kids are off in a separate park next to the kiddy park too, which is nice. Good facilities including basketball hoop and astroturf football pitch that you can play on for free and a seating area that could be nice to sit in. Only problems are the amount of rubbish and vandalism that occurs. Benches burnt, needles found, rubbish bins tipped over etc. Could be a great little park, but gets ruined by the above.
I like that it is big and it is beautiful and it has two playgrounds for little children and more older but I think it should add benches and for playing or sitting.
It's calm and quiet,the toys are in a good condition. But there was trash everywhere,in the park area there was a lot of dog poo.
Nice open space but lack of rubbish bins for litter and dog mess. Lots dog mess on grass be careful where you walk
