Great place to exercise your dogs providing there aren't any kids playing any games which can sometimes happen too. If you do, please pick up their dog poos, cause no body wants to stand in one, DO WE NOW🤨 Simply use a bread bag stick it in your pocket then the doggy do dos aren't a problem for ANYONE. …

Love it because its down the road from me. Has bins, toilets and a small playground. Hosts soccer and cricket throughout the year on weekends and your aloud to have your dog off lead. Just a nice basic park.

The playground is great for small kids, the fields host football (soccer) and cricket. There is lots of grass space for kite flying, but stay clear of the transmission power lines on one side of the park. Near a dairy for icecreams if you wish! Mature trees ring the park.

Its a nice decent park, small playground for kids. Friendly sporting environment. Toilets probably need to be more monitored. Vandalism is everywhere though..

This park is not a off leash park. There should be big signs at each entrance to park. Sick of off leash dogs rushing at my dog.
