Review from a dog walker.
The park itself is nice but it is now almost impossible for me to step foot in the park without my dog or even me being attacked by an off-leash dog.

There a cafe, which is a convenient.
The playground area includes a decent outdoor gym and basketball area. However the children's apparatus is pretty sad, dated and hodge-podge. I would expect much better facilities considering the parking...
