    Normanton Reserve is a fantastic spot—walking the dog in the big, open fields is so refreshing. The basketball courts add a great active element, and the kids absolutely love the play area. It’s just a vibrant, diverse space for all ages—a real gem in the neighborhood

    Nice little (semi)hidden playground up North. Big basketball court which I used to practice roller skating, however bit harder for complete beginners as there is not much to hold on it. Also great playground, 5/5.

    It is a nice park that has a bike track for kids. The track is big and with traffic signs. It has a playground and a basketball court. There are also some exercising equipments. It has toilets and drinkable water fountain.

    Nice little park with waking tracks and few excersise equipments. There is a kids play area, basket ball court and a field in the center for most other things. It's a nice place for kids to learn cycling, scooter and roller blades. The only draw back is that the field gets soggy in rain.

    Beautiful trees for shade on the Northerly end, place for child and adult kids to play. Nice China history documented here.

    Nice place to walk with your dog, bring kids or just do a run. Sunny spots and benches available. I shortly tested my drone at the far end of the park.

    Was a large enough park to have a rest or play. Toilets available.
