★★★★★Featured review by Ben Slater

A lovely expanse of green space, with nice playground & zip-line, and a pond with lots of ducks and geese. Good size car park as well, and great for kids :) Early morning right the way to evening filled with friendly dog walkers, joggers and families - lively but never too busy, would recommend

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A reliable choice for families with children of any age who want genuine outdoor space rather than a formal attraction. The duck pond draws younger children immediately, the zip-line and playground keep school-age kids active, and the open grassland gives everyone room to spread out. Arrive early on sunny weekends as the car park fills.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring duck food for the pond — ducks and geese are approachable and plentiful
⏰Arrive early on sunny weekends as free parking spaces fill fast
đŸŽŸī¸The reserve is set away from main roads so children can run without close supervision
🚗Open grass areas are large enough for football, frisbee, and group picnics

“Absolutely love this place. Walk my dog daily here. It's very very clean and tidy. Very picturesque and and a safe place to let my dog off the lead as not near any roads.”
