What a superb venue! Gosh the trees are huge & magnificent! The park is so well maintained; gardens, water areas, playground and toilets. The flower disare so colourful, I loved the parsley boarder around the impatience. The hydrangeas are stunning- huge, healthy flowers. I particularly love the music instruments in the playground. Well done!

One of the most colourful and well maintained parks we have visited anywhere in the world! The roses were in full bloom, the spring flowers were still looking magnificent and everything was so lush and healthy. Lovely easy tracks to walk …

Beautiful park, well worth a visit. There’s a lovely childrens play area. Then a beautiful walk around the grounds of the park to see the stunning gardens. The rose garden is particularly nice with so many varieties. Take a picnic and enjoy!

Pleasant little park just off a main road. Easily accessed and good parking. Great for a pleasant short walk or you could do loops if running. Nice trees and foliage, with a small stream running through it. Suitable for all ages. Backs on to a tennis club (with courts that can be booked for casual play) and a small golf course.

Beautiful and relaxing place to stroll through. Very well structured gardens with areas for different plant classes with a lot of signage around to help with variety information. Very fragrant rose garden and a manicured azela garden which would be amazing in the spring. It is large playground for children and plenty of roadside parking. Amazing job by the curators.

Really lovely place to visit! There’s a beautiful tennis court right beside it, and the clear stream with charming seaweed is delightful. The playground is huge and very fun to explore, and I can’t forget the wonderfully melodic percussion instrument (like a xylophone) that sounds so enchanting. Definitely worth a visit.
