    Has an outdoor gym, could do with oiling all squeaks/ screeches as using, kids park, lots of squirrels, large open space to let dogs off lead. Let down by illegal campers/ caravan’s leaving giant hoards of rubbish, blocking off half the park, etc.

    I love everything about this park (except the water log around the goal post). There is an entrance from Corisande road, and another from Gibbins road although there are about 2 or 3 foot paths leading to the park from the roads. The grass is well mowed, the outdoor gym facilities give a feel of what you’d get in an actual indoor gym. I noticed that two of the gym facilities has ability to charge your phone by converting kinetic energy to electricity, so as you exercise, you get your phone charged. I didn’t try it though, not sure it still works. As adults work out, children too have fun. They have their swing, etc to play on. The park is presented with a large field, big enough to serve as a football field. Trees are also planted in and around the park. Oh yes, I noticed a table tennis “table” so you can bring your tennis balls and bats. Lol. Is this park good for picnic? Yup! You are right. A good place for that too. Not sure if there are any modalities for the use of the park for this purpose though. I like the place, the kids enjoy going there too. Observe the weather, go have some fun!

    As an open space, it's good. Not great, but good for a walk. The playground for kids is a little limited. 2 swings, a selection of small slides and a big ring swing. There are some infoboards around the park and some interesting carved pieces of furniture/art. It could really do with some more playground equipment and shaded areas with seating (benches and tables are also very limited).

    Good spot for walk and daily day out with kids and dog. Good activity area for younger kids, parking spaces are very less.

    Nice Park has the outside gym attached which the kids love but honestly the people that have been there the last few visits are appalling! Groups of young children smoking and swearing at anyone and everyone who tries to use the park bulling toddlers snd just being real nuances I don't think I'll visit again.

    I've only been here a couple of times but so far its been very pleasant, a nice walk with the dog on a path. Everyone we encountered was friendly, it makes a refreshing change from most parks.

  • 4/5 Vasanth R. 1 year ago on Google
    Large green space in the middle of bustling residences and shopping retail parks. Outdoor gym Beautiful landscaping Sitting benches Play areas Walking trails Lots of trees Outdoor table tennis Beautiful flowers and roses And more Parking at the end of the park limited spaces or on road parking. Please be aware of road humps and 20 mile zone so be careful where you park. Place to walk and exercise Beware of people using Nitrogen capsules and drugs Also at times the park is occupied by travellers and takes a long time to evacuate them.

  • 5/5 Marta K. 1 year ago on Google
    Free parking, gym and kids play areas. Big enough to allow dogs off lead!

    I love this place beacuse is clean , Very clean also with very different vision, this place is realy good for children with their family ,Local atmosphere with mischievous and lovely squirrels and Birds that sometimes you can't see, but their beautiful sounds give you happines and peace.But there are fruit trees in this park that need to be taken care of.

    The playground has a good range of equipment for younger kids (including toddlers) and it is a generally well kept park. It has a lot of space too if you prefer to play ball games and seating to rest those tired legs.

  • 5/5 John S. 1 year ago on Google
    The dog loved her walk around the edge of the park and through the woods. Pretty clean. No dog mess around. Good sized space. Pretty scary at the edge where it is open to the road but got the dog back on the lead before we got there

    Lovely walk and plenty of activities for the kids. They even have an outdoor table tennis table, just take your own table tennis bats and table tennis ball

  • 5/5 Mr Z. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice park, we did some shopping at the retail park just opposite the road and had a picnic break. Has nice area for walk and we saw a exercise area with a range of self powered machines. Good for kids with a gated play area too.

  • 5/5 Matthew E. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park with lots to do, lovely to run around with gentle slopes and long paths. The kids love the park with the playground, gym equipment and zip wire.

    Beautiful park

  • 4/5 Ardent W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place for walking, just wish it had more lighting and cctv for better security. You wouldn't want your missus walking through there on a dark evening or winter morning.

  • 5/5 HS 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Peter B. 3 years ago on Google
    Really relaxing place with plenty to do if you feel energetic! Children's playground, adult outdoor exercise area and a zip line (currently broken). This was our first visit and already know we will be coming here regularly!
