As my pictures show, the trees in this corner were damaged in Storm Eunice in February 2022. This corner is an enclosed park with two gates which is designed for dogs and training. You can let them off the lead and they can't run away.

Love this place! I've been coming here since I was a little girl, they had a big circular paddling pool then... Memories ☺️ and now I take my own kids there, just recently built a new wooden playground area for under 5, big field in the middle for picnics and games and the surrounding areas are woodlands, a great walk with the dog.

My thinking ground, my place to walk around when I need to find clarity of mind. This is my local park which has something for all my favourite part of the park atm is the sensory garden and the parakeets seem to love it too. What a joy to have on my doorstep in this city.

Has all an open park needs; a great, leveled open space, clean toilets, snack bar, ice cream van and children's play area with obstacle course. Perfect 👌🏽👌🏽

Lovely local park. Large open games area, children's football played at the weekend. Good children's play area. Coffee kiosk open at the weekend. Fabulous woodland walk around the circumference. Autumn colours have been spectacular this year.

It's a beautiful park with a very touching back-story.

There is so much going on in this almost-hidden park. On a map you might see a big field with a strip of trees around the edge, but there’s much more going on.

The grassy main area is the size of several football pitches with a tarmac path all the way round that’s perfect for kids to bike / scooter on. It has two playgrounds, slightly annoyingly separated by the toilet/changing block. There’s also a nature space.

The trees around the side are deeper than expected and verge on a wood on the western side with their own paths, separate from the main area.

Two secondary grass areas are perfect of you want to be a bit more secluded, have a picnic under trees, etc.

The park can be accessed from all sides via paths, though Longhill is probably the best for parking as you don’t have to walk uphill and it is closed off at the southern end, so quiet.
