★★★★★Edited 4 months agoSpent most of my school years here! It's changed alot. Fun place for the kids to play. Nice place to walk dogs or just to have a walk. It's still beautiful!

★★★★★3 years agoGreat park by the canal. Has a lovely climbing structure for children. Easy bike ride from the center. Not the best description on the map but would recommend if your children need to get some climbing and wiggles out.
