A really picturesque, and beautifully maintained park with something to offer all age groups.

With Covid there is little football going on but "normally" almost the whole grassed area of the park can be used with loads of organised football training at certain times after school. Popular with walkers, runners, cyclists (including kids) and dog walkers with many off lead. When it's nice or football training on car parking can be busy but I've always found a space. There is also a skateboarding 🛹 Park which is always popular...
