“Some great climbing things for my toddler. Couldn’t use the slide as it is in direct sunlight and it was scorching! Probably wouldn’t go here again in super sunny/ hot days as there isn’t any shade. Have to park down the street a little as there is yellow lines on both sides directly outside the playground. Overall pretty good, some nice grassy areas surround it too.”

“Wonderful playground, it is awesome, my grandsons enjoy everytime? My only downfall about this place is the carparking is atrocious, you dont have a decent enough or close parking to the park, Its a bit of a hike to get here and you are not in vision of your car whilst visiting, please bring a pram for all children under 3, water bottles as there is no water fountain. The playpark is great, but the carparking is a HUGE LET DOWN. 😔🥴😤Be prepared coming here parents?”
