This is a beautiful park with lots of potential and a wonderful group of volunteers who take great care of it!

The park has a children's play area, outdoor gym equipment and a skate park and ramp with a handful of benches along most of the footpaths. It has acres upon acres of grass areas, bodies of water, bridges and, more recently, a duck feed machine which you can use to buy duck feed (do remember to bring your own container though!).

There is also a club housing area for althletics and similar. There is a proper track area too, I suspect club only access though.

Overall, a...
