★★★★★Featured review by Ania Barton

Lovely space for all occasions. We organised a picnic and had 50 people turning up. It was an absolutely amazing time! So much space for kids and adults to have a greate, relaxing experience. Greate for people with pets too. There is well prepared state park and plenty fun equipment for all kids to play in safe space.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with mixed-age children who want a full day outdoors without cost. Toddlers have dedicated play equipment, older children have the skate park and open space, and adults enjoy the lake walks and cafe. The open scale suits large group gatherings — up to 50 people have used it comfortably for picnics.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring cash for the cafe — cards are not accepted
⏰Bring nuts to hand-feed the friendly squirrels near the lakes
đŸŽŸī¸Keep dogs on leads near the road that circles the park
🚗The field behind the cafe floods in wet weather — stick to paved paths after rain

“Great skate park!!!!! Especially for my kids who skateboard. A bit annoying the cafe only takes cash but as long as you know in advance it's not an issue.”

“Nice little park. Run down but generally clean and well used by community. 2 fishing lakes, one used as a modal boating lake by enthusiasts who meet on Sundays. Friendly squirrels who will approach you if you bring them nuts. Lots of variety of birds. Skateboard ramps, swings, slides, play areas and exercise equipment. Small cafe serving hot drinks, snacks and ice cream. The field behind the cafe floods regularly so best to avoid that section. Popular with dog walkers but be careful if you let them off lead as road circles the park.”
