This is a very nice little park that is wedged between two houses (basically). There is only entrance which is on Gloucester road itself. What is different about this play area is that it's not flat like most of them. As soon as you walk in there is a gentle slope upwards. The grass slope is good for kids to run about and roll down, etc. There are six bits of different play kit  and the 'play train' is relatively new. It even has a round-about which is great as so many parks no longer have these. There are two benches and a bin so no issues regards basic facilities. There are several medium sized trees along the edges and one of these is an excellent climbing tree (Whitebeam). The park offers great views when you are at the top part.
