Good little park. Slightly entertaining. Clean park but very dirty toilets.

Why these ages?
Rebuilt 2019 playground with tractor climber, multi-play with slide, spring toys, infant swing and splash pad on artificial turf — genuine junior draw and 'ducklings from the nearby stream' add charm. But a stream runs through the park and reviewers mention a small skate part alongside a half basketball court; no perimeter fence. Great for supervised toddlers and confident primary-age kids.

Access notes
Description explicitly states surfacing is artificial turf throughout with safe fall matting underfoot, giving a firm even path across the play area. Public toilets are on site, though no accessible parking is specifically confirmed.
