This 28 acre parkland is one of the newest in the town and provides sports facilities and large open space for residents.

Play area

The play area is located adjacent to the car park and play centre, incorporating the three large mounds.

The play area was completely upgraded in 2010 and has a range of equipment suitable for toddlers, juniors and teens and also includes a large BMX track and gym equipment. 

The site has a pavilion, football pitches, a basketball hoop and a kick wall.

Managing play areas

Play areas are managed closely and inspected daily; litter bins are emptied and litter or broken glass is removed. Play equipment is inspected once a week to ensure safety for continued use.

If you have visited any of our parks recently and found a problem with the equipment or with general cleanliness, please let us know.
