“Great toddler playground. But today, discovered the sandpit smelt like animal/dog Poo - not everywhere, just where the kids would be scooping sand. I am leaving this here for future visitors with kids. I will be contacting council to inform them. Meanwhile, keeping my toddler from this section of the great, fully-fenced playground. P.s Water fountain is next to toilet block, where there is a bin too. Happy playing”
