Best for preschoolers and picnics
The pirate ship playground suits younger children well, and shaded picnic tables with grills make it ideal for family meals.
Visit on warm, dry days
The park has pools and open spaces best enjoyed in good weather, and grass areas can become soggy after rain.
Bring a picnic, skip the fields
The playground and picnic facilities are well-maintained and pleasant, but the sports fields have maintenance issues.
Arrive early on weekdays
