Central Park — Attraction in Plymouth

Public health risk. We took our children to Central Park for the afternoon, initially I was shocked at the amount of rubbish on the path from the car park up to the cafe, however this was nothing compared to what I found at the cafe. As we sat at one of the benches, we noticed that to our left 3 teenagers sat and drank a full crate of cider, I then noticed that one of the benches around our table had a discarded half eaten pasty plus a lot of rubbish on the floor. I walked round to the hatch to get a coffee, and was even more shocked, in front of the public toilets, the drain had blocked, and a steady stream of poo, used toilet roll and wee flowed out creating a brown pool on the tarmac in front of the cafe. All the while children walked past with footballs running through the pool, bicycles cycled through it and the cafe continued to serve food and drinks with a few meters. The cafe staff didn’t seem to mind and said they had contacted PCC but not attendance as of yet. We then returned to the car approx 3 hours later and it was still in the same situation. I am disgusted by its condition of the park in general but more so the area around the cafe. PCC has created an utter dive and...

The park overall is lovely. But I spent the day with my toddler and he keeps hurting himself at the area with the cafe and play area near to the swimming pool. The steps from the cafe to the play area isn't toddler friendly. There is a sharp gravel pavement under each step and is at such a distance from each step that any toddler can easily trip on its border then face planting the concrete step. My toddler has on both occasions tripped on this. The first time grazing his knee on the very sharp fixed gravel covering and the second time visiting, hitting his head so hard his head swelled like an egg. We had to visit the argyll stadium to get a paramedic and doctor to check him out while a game was playing. Keep your little toddlers away from the cafe steps. They are a perfect accident waiting to happen to little ones heads and knees! Apart from that the park overall is lovely. But as a parent this one area knocked my score down to 3/5. Overwise the park is 5/5 for anyone without a very...

Sweet park!!! Loads for all levels of Skater. Transitions, flat banks, pump track, grind rails, bowl with roll-in and ledges. Concrete and steel, a few cracks in the concrete but not noticeable when Skating. Free parking 50m from the skatepark and seating around the park, if you can stop yourself from giving it a try. Good for all wheeled sports, saw a BMX'er rip the place up. I was advised to go early on a school day...which is great advice. I've visited twice, first time on a sunny school holiday at 4pm, it was rammed, this visit 10am midweek, saw 10 skaters, a dude on a BMX and a 2yr old on a scooter. The only downside was the place could do with a brush, there was glass in the bowl, and giant matches on the pump track, which made for awkward ride. But overall, it's a great skatepark. A must...
