“My parents used to bring me to this park back in the 80's. Now I have the opportunity to bring my own kids. This park has been very well maintained, has Toilet facilities and a broad range of activities to keep the kids engaged for hours. One improvement that can be made is to add sun shades over some areas as it can get rather hot in summer but other than that a great playground!”
