    Its just a big square park. Theres a playground at 1 end & a cricket pavilion at the other. Its a cricket park but you can walk your dogs. Its got car access & parking. Good to play ball with the dog or a picnic.

    Hidden gem not much privacy though the parks in a pit and is surrounded by houses on the hill around it to im guessing the old people taking advantage of the female joggers and walkers. No privacy
