Lovely park within easy reach of public transport and fairly easy to park near.
There are multiple well designed and segregated, but positioned adjacent, play areas allowing children to use age appropriate frames and rides whilst allowing clear sight lines for parents to monitor this free play.
The splash pad, built into the old paddling pool, offers children excitement and refreshingly welcome cool down opportunities within a safely confined area. The sensory features and easy access make this a really well designed inclusive area of the park.
Tennis courts, enclosed 5 a side pitch are available and the beach volleyball club at the residential end of the park makes really good use of the old bowls club whilst still maintaining community access and engagement. During the summer there are broadcasted competitions and in the office season teams train there and provide coaching to young beach volleyball wannabees.
A recent addition of the customer made work out frame gives people the chance to perform many work outs (pull ups, dips, sit ups) to develop their strength and attached QR codes give access to coaching via an app/website.
There is plenty of space across most of the park for picnics and leisurely strolling with the added benefit of the renovated toilets (as with other parks) creating a cafe near the main entrance for year round use and the snack bar 'Mammas Place' in the centre, which is reasonable prices compared to other venues in the cities parks.
During holiday periods there are often additional paid for rides to cater for the staycationers with kids and seasonal entertainment on the bandstand.
Lovely place with a beautiful flowery entrance area.
