"A beautiful huge park, multifunctional and has something for everyone. Lovely walks ranging from a simple 1km to a tougher 7km. Flagged and signposted, suitable for a gentle amble or a serious run. Full size football pitches, basketball courts, full playground, loads of room for flying kites, drones, any sports you want. Outdoor gym equipment for dad or mam. Near to playground. Gorgeous river and waterfall alongside walk. Forest area too. Definitely a must visit place."
