Reviews
"All you need for a local park. Nice walk around and a place to play for kids."
"Awesome park with lots of greenery and trees surrounding - excellent for picnics. A lovely lake with swans and other birds and a splendid path going the full circumference of the lake. The parking is superb and ample. Awesome for entertaining kids with swings, slides, monkey bars and roundabouts."
"Nice clean park. Good playground for little ones couldn't see any restrooms or picnic area but there were benches to sit on to eat food"
"It was a lovely afternoon! PLEASE don't go and feed the birds (there's signs and notices warning of this too). Saying don't for valid reasons, sad to see that in our 1hr spent here, we saw so many people bringing bread and buckets of cooked biriyani as feed. This is so damaging...please refrain from doing so."
