Heather Walkerden
★★★★☆“A pleasant little park with 2 fenced off playgrounds each with play equipment for different age groups. There are some lovely shade trees with well placed seating to make use of the shade. Dogs are allowed off leash here after 9pm and before 5am which seems bit ridiculous. There are poo bags provided but it would be nice if there were some more dog friendly hours. I saw lots of friendly dogs there who would have loved to have a little run.”

★★★★☆“Great little local park for the kids with 2 playgrounds, One of which was recently built( both playgrounds have swings and slides). Also a good size grass area for the dogs to run around. The coffee at the Cafe located between the 2 playgrounds is average, better to get your coffee on union St before heading to the playgrounds.”

★★★★☆“Drainage for the main grassed area and new equipment in both playgrounds makes this a great place to take dogs (off leash after 5pm) and young children. Both playgrounds fenced off to keep children safe and dogs out. Numerous benches and picnic tables spread around park.”
