Traveler reviews
Ivy K
★★★★★a month agoI love this park. Great for everyone. There is a playground for children under5. And further up is a play area for older kids to challenge themselves. There's toilets that are actually decent. A cafe around the top. Lots of benches to sit and just watch the day go by.

★★★★★a year agoIt’s a lovely spot to enjoy a gentle breeze and unwind. I visited on a bank holiday, and the park was lively with families enjoying the day, children playing, and picnics scattered across the green. It's a perfect place for a relaxing outing in a vibrant atmosphere.
