★★★★★11 months agoA beautiful and well-equipped park, especially great for walkers, but also featuring multiple machines for weight training. A children's playground and picnic tables make it a very pleasant place to spend time. It's clean, safe, and offers free parking for both scooters and cars. We really appreciate how well-maintained it is.

★★★★★3 months agoOne of the most beautiful parks we have been too and we saw lots of wildlife!! Unfortunately there wasn’t any drinks kiosks so we did nearly keel over of thirst but obviously that was our fault, it was like going into a secret garden and it’s absolutely huge with trials leading off everywhere loved it.
