Middleton Park is a charming retreat with a well-maintained playground that delights children and families alike. The presence of clean, accessible public bathrooms enhances its appeal for extended visits. While not sprawling, its serene atmosphere and thoughtful amenities make it a pleasant spot for relaxation and playtime in the heart of the community.

It is a decent sized park and good to take the dog for a walk around on. It has a cricket practice area and a playground for the kids with a skateboard area too. The field is used for other activities like soccer.

I went for a walk and found a few birch boletes in one of the corners. Pretty standard for a park. Footy pitch, some construction, and a little playground down the end.

Clean and tidy. Not the most picturesque location and really challenging to drive to due to the one way system and lovely new cycle lanes. I imagine its better without the rain and cold wind we had the pleasure of experiencing today.
