Nice play area for the little ones, not very big but plenty of fun. Shame about all the litter and rubbish in the play area, people dropping their coffee cups and coke cans should be really ashamed of themselves.

Considering this is one of Liverpool’s main parks the play area is quite bad. It’s big but broken in parts and it needs updating badly.

Nice play area but needs alot of work on it. Floor uneven with holes in and some of the equipment is not working. In need of a revamp!

The park setting itself — with paths, open grass, and a palm house nearby — adds significant value for families who enjoy combining play with a wider walk.
