“This is the best local park for slides. So many varieties a great place to bring the kids. This park has a table for relaxing and bin close by. Lots of equipment for the kids to play on and all very safe. There is also a great hill for kids to roll down with a safe landing. Lots of parking nearby. A must see and visit if in the area.”

“Neat and tidy beautiful park with lots of natural sun shade by the beautiful trees. The playing facilities are relatively new and good for small kids. Hope the council will establish the public toilet there in the future.”
