A good amount of open space for ball games, although I didn't see any goal posts on the field at the time. The main entrance is graced by two large Sycamore and a large Norway maple tree. Along the edges of the playing field are plenty of trees and shrubs. Field Elm are in great numbers here and there are a variety of trees that run alongside the railway line. There are no benches so bare that in mind if you do decide to visit this place.
