Very scenic location with great walks around the lake. Very quiet, safe and friendly.
The route around the lake is perfect for dog walkers, runners and casual strollers
The lake was being used by pedalos on hire, which looked cool
Since the refresh, the main facility has been upgraded with a very large cafe with served fresh pastries and ice cream. I noticed there was a large selection of alcoholic beverages, nice cocktail in the sun looks likely!
The facilities were clean and well maintained
There are 2 parks, a kids park and a bigger kids park.
The smaller kids park has a lot of swings which was perfect as they were all full most of the time. There was lots of other things to do
The bigger park has a massive climbing frame which looked very popular
There is a mechanic kinetic gym on the grounds, a scooter / bike training square, ping pong table, chess table… something for everyone
The car park was full on the day I went and I had to wait and the spaces were small - the only negative, but not reducing rating because the place is popular
