    Loved this park. It's really neat and feels secure the entire park is fenced all around. There are places to eat right across the road and also bp garage for snacks and drinks which makes it super convenient for me. My kid had such a blast playing around and running after birds while we chilled under the trees. Choo Choo Park has a small train, swings, slides, jungle gym, see saw etc and a big open space for them to run around and some sport the ablution facilities were neat and tidy as well. It was a good day all round

    Great place for the kids to play. Nice picnic spots on the grass. There are two benches and a picnic table, as well. The park equipment though varied and interactive, could be better maintained. There used to be a public toilet available for the kids, they were locked up on my last visit. Entry is via two gates on the one side of the fence and one gate on the other side.

    My 2 year old son is crazy for trains, and seeing one much bigger than what he is used to was mind blowing lol. One issue though, the grass,plants and trees need some serious attention.

    A pleasant park and we had my son’s Nerf Party there. Trees provide plenty of shade and the park was in clean condition

    Space and open park with ample play park thingies for the kids, many with rubber. This has a toilet block that is kept clean by an attendant even it it requires repairs. Good access

    Choo-choo park was alive with young kids with their parents or carers today! This is a safe space and the playground equipment is quite well maintained. And of course there is that lovely old steam engine standing in pride of place!!

    I revisited this park after after being out of the neighborhood for some time. It was nice to see the park well maintained. The paved path is a nice addition. The various swings, slides, merry go round, are all nicely paved underneath. Take a picnic blanket or sit at the bench sets. There is a fair amount of parking available.

    Needs a clean up. Gates need to be locked at night.

  • 5/5 Anton G. 4 years ago on Google
    Simply beatiful!

  • 3/5 Irmie B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little park but the swings need attention!

  • 2/5 Kevin B. 4 years ago on Google
    The grass is uncut and long. There's a lot of cigarette buts lying at the benches.

  • 3/5 Mogamat Amien D. 4 years ago on Google
    Place was nice just parking was a bit of a problem.

  • 5/5 Elvida E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice for kids

  • 3/5 Lance M. 4 years ago on Google
    Park is slightly being neglected it could do with some love. I don't think it's that difficult to give the park that gets used by majority in the neighborhood and outsiders a bit of love.

  • 5/5 Frans B. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a nice park to take kids to play; usually not too crowded, with occasional birthday parties for kids. Some of the recreational equipment needs some maintenance though(swings broken and some of the tyres on the jungle gym are loose), and occasionally there are some homeless people.

  • 4/5 Tinashe M. 4 years ago on Google
    My son enjoy it.

  • 5/5 Fahranaaz F. 1 year ago on Google
    Newly refurbished and well maintained park. Be sure to bring a picnic baskets and don’t forget hats and sunblock. Lots of space for the little ones to play

  • 3/5 Laa'iqah P. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is not bad. The grass was a bit long though. Also, I wouldn't advise you to go alone because their are weirdos constantly walking in and through the park

  • 3/5 Rethabile T. 1 year ago on Google
    Park is always neat and they have recently been doing some work on it. Kids and dogs can run around and play freely. There are toilets. The Park has 3 entrances. Two on the street and one on the main road. There is a large slide for kids and a smaller one for tots. The park looks brand new! The train has been repainted. The monkey bars repaired. All other play sections have been repainted and maintained too. Lots of parking spaces and it's free. NO RANDOM YELLOW VESTS popping up from nowhere (the guys with yellow vests who "keep an eye on cars"). There is a person designated to look after the park, they are visible too. No dodgy activities as far as I know. But still, keep an eye on your children and if you can your neighbor's kids too.

    Nice big park with lots of sunshine. The park is well maintained too with a real life train (partly).

  • 4/5 Delmaine P. 2 years ago on Google
    Our first time was quite okay, variety of things for kids to play on, toilets was closed but other than that my kid enjoyed it

  • 4/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice park to take the kids. The grass needs to be cut

  • 5/5 Allan W. 3 years ago on Google
    It was a pleasant experience to be back there after many years. Many years ago we took our children to play there and now we took our granddaughter and she really enjoyed it. There is enough space to put in smaller swings though for the little ones.

  • 3/5 Mark D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for kidz to let loose and parents to catch up with a close eye on their children. Food can be acquired with minimal hassle and cost nothing. Just bring everything you need and don't leave anything you didn't find on the premises.

  • 5/5 Marisia F. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean, spacious, quiet. A good place to relax, to organize one's thoughts, to bring the kids. It saw it been maintained/painted less than 6 months ago.

  • 5/5 Steve K. 3 years ago on Google
    The perfect place for singing happy birthday like a stream train.

  • 5/5 Kashif W. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to take the kids, always clean and well cared for.

  • 4/5 Gabeebah N. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely park...just the big slide does not make one feel safe for a 3 year old. So the babies obviously runs there to want to climb...and that is tiring....but the train is the best!

  • 3/5 Infyrna S. 3 years ago on Google
    Gates need some tlc, one does not have a latch to lock and grass needs tending. Otherwise nice and big.

  • 4/5 Imaan K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice and tranquil. Will go again

  • 5/5 Filmon T. 3 years ago on Google
    The park is so wide. Kids can play in the field without any problem. There are double monkey bars, slides and others considering the ages of the kid. Kids love the red choo choo train in the middle of the park. Two ducks are available in the park. There are two gates. The park is closed at 6pm. Colcaccio πŸ• is right across the street. I recommend this park. But the grass needs to be be maintained continously.

  • 5/5 Burhaan P. 3 years ago on Google
    The kids always enjoy the park. Always clean and grass is always cut.

    Very safe on a main road.

  • 2/5 Bolelang R. 4 years ago on Google
    The park is in a good location and was not busy or crowded when I was there. The design is good. It however ends there because the functionality is not as good. The place has toilets but they are locked, probably for security reasons, with no one on sight with the keys when one wants to use them. There is lawn but it is so badly kept that there's patches of soils all over the place. Maybe they are trying to save water, but why not remove then and substitute with something that will not need water? The Choo Choo train is still in good condition and painted.

  • 5/5 Bridget Cecilia C. 4 years ago on Google
    Pleasant types of people visit here.security would help tho
