âLovely little playground for a short stop. Nice view of airport and we spotted a ferry too. There are some swings, a little roundabout, a very high firemans pole, a small climbing wall and a couple of different slides. No toilets. Big steep grassy slope. A very small seesaw.â

âIt's Ok, nothing flash and the equipment could do with an upgrade. Not fenced and not a huge amount for young toddlers to play on - close supervision requires at all times. It's our local and is an easy walk to get to it. Loses the afternoon sun quite early so better to visit in the morning or with a warm jacket especially in the winter/spring months when the northerly is blowing.â
