“Very nice park to take my baby boy. Pity the path is a bit curvy, so we often just walk through the grass (which is quite long at times) to get to the playground. The park as a whole is spacious and fun, and has nice bits of shade too.”

“Nice park but playgrounds a bit boring and the field isn't well looked after. A few shallow holes that make people/kids fall over or twist ankles. Nice area though.”

A small playground in the park suits younger children. The pram-accessible grounds make it easy to navigate with a pushchair.
