    Loved that most of the grass was high for pollinators. Plenty of space to run around, play ball, be wild. Picnic table and bin provided. The equipment could do with a bit of paint soon but is still in ok Order. No busy road next to where kids play,yet parking close by. Perfect and we will certainly stop again here

    A very cool suprise playground that we came across on a walk. The climbing frames, swings and playground toys that kids can play with . Lots of parking available. Abd access from 2 locations. There are bins available for rubbish. A nice surprise and fun place to take your kids
