    Small little park thats got good quality playground. Lovely grass for my dogs to run and play on and the little stream is good for the thirsty dogs. Just need a watertap for humans to drink from.

    Grew up playing at this park and now my 3 kids have grown up playing here. It definitely needs more facilities like a bbq area and toilet but it's great when you live so close
