Great park. Kids love it. Used to call it the cat park as there was one friendly cat there. Even had a basketball hoop 🏀

This is an excellent suburban playground that works well for families with children of different ages, from toddlers to older kids.

“Great little suburban playground and landscaped garden with plenty of grass, a half court basketball hoop, and equipment to suit every age and ability. Off street parking is available just across the quiet laneway, two public rubbish bins, a picnic table and a few bench seating options. No public facilities at the playground but public toilets are available up near the Newland shops, and possibly the rugby grounds nearby - but not 100% sure.”

“It was a nice wee park for both my 3 year old and 1 year old! Playground equipment suited both ages which was neat. The only downside was no public loo 🙃”
