★★★★★Featured review by Harvi Kaur

Lovely place, been coming here all my life. There is Tennis courts, bowling, good for skate boarders, great playing areas for children (three areas). 2 cafe's for food and drink. Pond with ducks and fish. Outdoor shallow pool area which the kids love. Theres always different events on. Shame the carnival is not here anymore, that was the highlight of the year.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 2-5 who will love the train ride as a standalone experience. Older children get more from the park's skate park, tennis courts, and play areas. The railway is a highlight for very young children, and the full park makes it a genuinely full-day-out destination for mixed-age families.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Check the railway is currently running before making it the main reason for your visit
⏰Paddling pool is a hit with young children on warm days — bring a change of clothes
đŸŽŸī¸Two cafes are on site so no need to bring all your own food
🚗Bins can overflow on busy days — a bag for your own rubbish is useful

“Greenhead Park is lovely unfortunately been today & all bins were overflowing attracting wasps - kids had a great time in paddling pool well worth a visit - not sure if the train is running anymore due to unforseen circumstances”

“My daughter loved this when she was about 3 but I always felt it would benefit from being longer e.g going further round the park.”

Overview

Greenhead Park Railway runs a miniature train circuit through the park grounds. The ride is brief — best suited to toddlers and young children who appreciate the novelty. The park surrounding it offers substantially more: three separate play areas, a shallow paddling pool, duck pond, skate park, tennis courts, bowling green, and two on-site cafes. Check before visiting as the railway has had operational interruptions.
