Batewood Renovations
★★★★★3 months agoReally nice park, first time there with the family. Nice little food shack and can even use the museum cafe if you want a place to sit down to eat. Will come back soon.
Sarah Hunter (sezzy boy)
★★★★★2 years agoOne of the best playgrounds my kids (and husband and I!) have visited. Lovely garden/planting, varied playground equipment (swings, slides, cargo nets) as well as a super sand pit/water play area.
