I grew up playing & exploring this park, creating great memories being spent down "the water" with friends. Nowadays the main park area at the tennis/basketball court has a mix of exercise apparatus which are fun for kids. There is an oval ash running track which is a pleasant walk around, as long as it hasn't rained in the last 12 hours in which case it may be water-logged at areas. Young kids have two areas with swings and other things to play on. The first area is at the top of the park , as you enter the park by car just on the right. The second area is at the bottom of the park (continue past the main entrance ) where there's a small car park. The second area is more suited to older children. There are other chutes within the park area, just watch out for water and dirt on these or it'll be a full wash going on when you get home 🫣. The Bandstand has been done up lately so is handy as a shelter. It's a decent park for a visit and fun place for kids to hang out and enjoy an afternoon. Don't expect any spectacular as sadly areas of the park have been ignored for years by local council so other areas of park are either closed off or waterlogged (wellingtons needed) with loose stones/...
