“What an amazing playground, got lots of character and some truly amazing views. The equipment here is a tad old but all perfectly functional, there is a massive soccer field just a step down from the playground itself, great for kicking balls and running around. If your kid is into skating there is also a skatepark next to the playground also, great place to burn some energy with the kids.”
